A weekly newspaper devoted t?
the promotion of the general Wei
tare and published for the enllght
ment, entertainment and benefit ol
the cltleens of Kings Mountain and
Its vicinity.
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 of all is the Maryland
Gaxette at Annapolis, established In

On ret It; at Portsmouth, also a weekly,
established In 175*. 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.

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

him to Mrs. Hamm. The friend
was afraid Mrs. Hamm would forget

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*

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

him some price tickets. Keeter glad1

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

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.
They wdrshtp blindly with a hope
As through the darkness they grope,
On a Journey they know- not where;
They bow and meekly they pray
And) then they go silently away,
While iuto the future they stare.
They worship bWn.dly and Idol as
blind
As they who bow to his kind,
Nor reck not the end of the road;
They seek for the rain-bows end
And the Joy that it will extend,
Forgetting the weight of the load.Yet
any religion is better than none
If you hare followed and have won,
For the heart Is the test, not the
. hand;
If you are sincere in what you believe
And your heart is In what you conschach/^7

Miguel del Vayo, celebrated
violinist, falls in love with Gaby,
Viennese wife of his old friend
Peter, who is concertmaster of a
London orchestra. 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.

Then Peter spoke. "Gaby, wherq

"Yes, darling," murmured Gaby.

aide ? first one, then the other.

And she gives the glass to Peter,

nightmare. Could this be what her
subconscious desires, released In
sleep, pointed to? No ? no ? this

her husband; he needed her; she
would be loyal to him.
Oaby clung to Peter, erying brokenly

It waa , Gaby, pleading with
Michael at his apartment; pleading
for release from their pact. But all
he could see, all ho could understand,
was that he loved her.
"You don't know what you're saying.

"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

"You are mine ... you are mine,"
he whispered, as his arms went

relentlessly. She had resisted all she

little-girl hand.
She finished writing, folded the

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,

her effects for identification,

someone whom she called "Peter

"Peter dear," it read, "I haven't

unless I am too frightened, I shall

have always been so fond of me,

In her still, cold lips. And so
died Gaby, the victim of two con
