Amert. a wag the first t Igi: the practice ? f dedicate g one ??ay out of th year to labor. Other nations are slow]; learning that labor is a nob!., at.d d?p"ifyin, thing and that "he that i - i t work mus surely die." Labor day is supimstd to be he holiday of the man who works his handsthe wage earner. He is entitled to it, fc ^ even if our wage earn* rs do kick over tt traces once in a while swid go wrong becaus of false leaders, they aro the finest ar most capable worker en earth. But the do not hav their holiday t,? themselves. Tl "* . great arn^v of bankers, postal officials, ar office workers, who are laborers, too, ar generally toil longer hours and more streni ously than the men they employ, take hoi day. too; ami they too are entitled to it. There is something fine, and particular American, in the fact that labor is thu- re ognized. If there is a country that believin doing things it is youthful America. Hei everybody labors. There is no fire spi: theories about social caste and rank th, prevents one from turning his hand to wh, he finds to do. After all, there anythir that gives one more genuine pleasure thi work? The joy of accomplishing somethin '"There is no fun like work." North Carolina As A Taxpayer ECENT figures made public by Inter a V al Revenue Bureau officials reveal th North Carolina takes fir?+ p!?cc among I) Southern States in still' anothe^ respec namely, that she is the largest taxpayer Uncle Sam of all her sister states south the Mason and Lixoi{ Line. Her neare comnetitor naid less tha? a third no mil into the Federal Treasury as did North Cs olina. The total of our State was ov $140,000,000. The total of Virginia, whi was the nearest competitor among the Sout em States, was slightly over $40,000,000. Many North Carolinians will not tal comfort in contemplating the new rank of ti Old North State has been placed on; and, fact, when onef subordinates national state patriotism, there isn't any particuli comfort! in the fact that such a large su goes from this state into Uncle Sam's co fers. Yet. there^^nother side to the que tion. The fact that this state pays such s enormous sum in Federal taxes indicatt that there is prosperity over the commoi wealth. For internal revenue collection* ^ THE CHER - a good barometer of economic condition?. Viewed from this angle, thi* new position r our state has assumed should be asouree of r satisfaction to 0very North Carolinian. Georgia'*. ) Road Policy THERE have been some misgivings on part of North Car- : niar.s about t.tej Georgia sictV>n of th. Asheville-Murphy-At. | lanta highway. It has been feared by some that the Georgia section may not be comple?I i ed for perhaps some years to come. The hr[ nouncemont. then. fore, that "Georgia will . not stop until her part of the road is as good ! . as the North Carolina portion." sht.uiri T\> r reassuring to us all.

I have seen several saved from death by m snake-bite in this way. Snuff would be pood also; and if you do not care to eat it, make a poultice with water and place on the pit oft he stomach. The tobacco is the si! cvcr-the-counlry antidote that can I ni? unq ior iirsi aia in such caws.

July 4 is celebrated as Independence Jay although the only reason for th ? i cion of this date is that the autograph copy n the handwriting of its great author, rhomas Jefferson, was signed ?>: . that day ?y John Hancock, the Pn dent of Congress, ind t> the Secretary, Charles Thomp m. of [)eleware. The engrossed ?opy, now trcasjred by the State Department, was a , gn d by the numbers rf the Congrcs.- until August 2, 1776. Ommitting ail reference to the "Stamp Act." "Taxation without representation," The Boston Tea Party." and other incidents leading up to the final separai;on of the Colonies from the Mother Country, this ?ketcv will outline the hewing stone oniy. The fundamental principles are nearly purely Virginian. They are embodied in the twenty-six Fairfax County Resolves adopted July IS, 1774. at Alexandrai, by the Virginia Assembly, and were written by George Mann of that county. This was the first clear statement of the rights of the Colonies. The same author drew up the Virginia Bill of Rights which was adopted #by thd las: colonial S?yw?bly of the colony and which forms the basis of every state constitution in the country. These principles in turn go back to the Acts of the Long Parliment and the Magna Charta of Great Brittain. Another powerful influence wo th? phnmplet issued in January, 1776, entitled "Common Sense," and written by the celebrated "Tom" Paine. The Resolutions. The first real declaration of independence consisted of a set of resolutions presented tc Congress June 7, 1776, by Righard Henrj Lee, another Virginian, and the*adoption ol these resolutions, not unanimously, however led to the drafting of the final document bj that third great Virginian, Tbomas Joffer son. These resolutions contained the impor tant declaration "That these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and inde. pendent states and that all political connection1 between them and the state of Grcal Brittain i?, and ought to be. totally dissolved." Upon adoption of thes? resolutions the Congress appointed as the committee draft the document Thomas Jefferson, John Adams. Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston.

T'v original rough draft is mir:'r!ly preserved bv the governm nt but the copy signby Hancock and Thompson has disappeared. It is supposed it was sent to the public printer as "copy" and was probably never reform d with the printed duplicate. At any rate there is no record of ita ever having been sen again.
