Some After-Christmas Thoughts
For The News-Herald.
Now that Christmas of 1914
has passed, let us remember
that the spirit of Christmas will
never pass. In all lands and
seas it will ever soften and
sweeten the human heart. It is
everywhere the fresh spirit of
childhood laid on a rough world.
The Christmas festival may be
a creed; a message; a song or
a poem, but above all it is the
child-spirit in its faith, seren
ity, sweetness and laughter; it

from a rural hamlet, and was
first hummed in the track of an
eastern caravan. It concerned
some villagers who had never
seen the pyramids and had nev
er known who led the thunder
ing legions. Yet whilst watch
ing their flocks the Divine sur
prise met them in the way.
First there, was some music
then a star and then a little
child. Life lifted up its gates
of splendor and adoring hostt
sang paeans of welcome. It
seemed as if the angels of
Heaven were anxious to do Him
some service. A message wa?
to be sent to Zacharias in the
Temple, and an angel flew to
carry it. There was a heaven
ly secret to be told to the "high
ly favored maiden chosen tor
the Sacrament of motherhood,
and Gabriel went on that mis
sion of celestrial diplomacy, a
service above that of any earth
ly embassy. There was a word
of reassurance and promise tc
be spoken to the anxious minded
Joseph, and an angel wove il
into the fabric of the good man's
dream ; an angel told the Bethle
hem shepherds of the birth of
the Child, and while he talked
the light of the Heavenly clouds
enveloped the startled men anc
sleeping sheep, jmd lit up rod;
and shrub and pasture slope
and other angels came, and oth
ers still, host upon host, choii
upon choir, as if all Heaven hac
come to the birthday fete, filling
air and sky with radiant face:
and gleaming wings and the
matchless music of celestia
song. Since then the story hsa
been retold in wilderness wild
in rude hovels, in palatial pal '
aces, from holy altars, and ha
changed the fate of empires
Each year this Bethlehen
scene descends upon our mid

like these do not break int

He can see the splendor in the

After Sixty-Five Years.
Sixty-five years ago, when a
boy of about seven years, Mr. J.
A. Hood left Caldwell county
with his parents for the West.
Last Fall he returned to his
original home for the first time
spending several weeks with
relatives in Caldwell and Burke.
He has written the Lenoir Top
ic from his home at Giidderi,
Iowa, some notes and impres
sions of his visit, a part of
which is printed below:
"Leaving Glidden October 10,
by way of Chicago for my
Southern trip, I spent one week
in the Windy City with our son
Guerene and our daughter Le
noir and other friends. Then
going to Indianapolis, Indiana,
I spent one week with my broth
er Marshall and other friends.
Bidding farewell to the old
Hooser State by the way of Cin
cinnati, Ohio, over the Big Four
System, I took the Queen &
Crescent route to Asheville, N.
C. There I spent five hours
viewing the splendid scenery
for which the place is noted.
The Vanderbilt mansion is also
located there.
"Resuming our journey we
landed at Lenoir, N. C, a beau
tiful mountain city of about six
thousand inhabitants very
much alive with two cotton
mills, one chair factory, one
furniture factory, planing mills
and numerous other industries.
There is a great lumber indus
try, a very persevering and in
dustrious people. I spent one
week in Lenoir then went out
through the country seven
miles to my old play ground
where I was born. I viewed
'.he fire place where I first
warmed my hands more than
seventy years ago. Many of
the road's and old land marks
ire gone. I visited the old cem
etery at Little John's church
xnd found many familiar names
m the monuments. It was
;here I used to attend Sunday
?chool in my childhood in my
?are feet and homespun shirt,
out the hand of time has
wrought Wonderful changes,
fhe open fire-place, however,
still survivies, and the old-time
:orn shuckings of which I had
he pleasure of attending. There
vere sixty-five at one and forty
five at the other, one of which
was composed entirely of color
ed people. I listened to some
?reat old plantation songs and
we had a fine supper.
"A week in Burke county,
where I looked over the old land
marks. I attended another
corn shucking, spent some time
at Morganton visiting many of
my kin, among them Gus Bris
tol, whose popularity has made
him Clerk of the Court for many
years, also John Holloway, ef

of these men a Democrat, the
Dther a Republican."
The Legislature.
Charlotte Observer.
Like the Democratic majori
ty in Congress, the Democratic
majority m the State Legisla
ture has been cut down, but the
percentage was not quite so
heavy. In the Senate of the
new Legislature there are 43
Democrats, where there was
last year 47. There- are seven
Republicans where there were
three. In the House there are
97 Democrats, against 101, and
21 Republicans against 16. In
the last Legislature were two
members representing what
was considered the Progressive
party. These have been wiped
out. There was one man class
ed as an Independent. He has
disappeared, also. The Demo
crats still have what might be
called a "reckless majority,
but it is to be hoped they will
be on guard and enact no legis
lation except of a character to
be of benefit to the State, there
by giving the Republicans no
chance for the "come back"
they are looking for.

ASHEVILLE HOME,
Purchases a Ten-Acre Lot on
Sunset Mountain.
Asheville Dispatch, 27th.
In accordance with his oft re
peated plans to reside for -at
least part of the time in Ashe
ville, Secretary of State William
J. Bryan has bought a ten-acre
plot of land adjoining the Grove
Park Inn tract of 1,000 acres
from W. E. Grove. That Sec
retary Bryan will improve the
land with suitable buildings for
his home is also given out.
Mr. Bryan spent several weeks
in Asheville last summer" and
expressed himself often as be
ing much in love with the Land
of the Sky. The purchase is
described on the map of the
Grove properties as the Alta
Vista tract, and one of the pret
tiest viewpoints in western
North Carolina. It crests a
ridge summit adjoining the F.
L. Seely place on Sunset moun
tain, from which it is separated
by the exclusive automobile
highway ascending from Grove
Park Inn. It can be further
locally identified from the fact
that it includes the patch of
sourwood bushes which shows
in autumn as a scarlet blur on
the mountain as seen from
Asheville.
The Altavista tract has the
combined advantages of scenery
and accessibility. From the
standpoint of viewpoint Mr.
Bryan could hardly have chosen
better. To the west and north
west the blue mountains rise in
giant steps to the far heights
of the Balsams, the sharp spires
of Pisgah and Cold mountain,
and the dark dome of Thunder
head standing as sharply de
fined sentinels gf the forested
heights. Southwgst Is" the white
pile of Biltmore houses and be
yond the billowy sea of moun
tains included in the 87,600
acres to be acquired by the Uni
ted States as a forest preserve.
In the immediate foreground is
Asheville, so close that its
houses incroach almost to' the
Bryan tract. .

From The Uplift. -
The Uplift is pained to hear
of the indisposition that has
overtaken Col, A. H. Boyden,
the newly appointed postmaster
at Salisbury. He has been
forced to a rest and treatment
in a hospital. It sounds strange
to hear of this active man, who
wears his years in a. youthful
manner, sojourning among the
doctors. No Christmas news
would be more gladly received
in this office and by many of our
population, than to hear of his
complete restoration to health
THAT COLD YOU HAVE
may bring sickness, doctors bills and
loss of work; you know that serious
sickness usually starts with a cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Remember that.
Overcome the weakness and nature
cures the cold that is the law of
reason. Carefully avoid drugged pills,
syrups or stimulants, they are only
props and braces and whips.

CHRISTMAS NEWS NOTES.
Brief Items of Happenings Dur
ing the Holidays.
President Wilson celebrated
his 58th birthday Monday ,H the
28th. There was no special: ob
servance of the anniversary,
and the President spent the day
quietly with his . family.
Mr. J. F. Click, for the great
er part of 23 years editor of the
Times-Mercury, of Hickory, ha?
severed his connection with that
paper. He will continue to live
in Hickory, it is said, and may
take up other work.
President Wilson presented
each of the White House em
ployes with a 15-pound turkey
as a Christmas present. He
distributed 325 turkeys, remem
bering the policemen as well as
all the clerks and domestics. .
Speaker Champ Clark and
Mrs. Clark have announced the
engagement of their daughter
Miss Genevieve, to James M.
Thompson, editor of the New
Orleans Item, the marriage to
take place in the Spring or early
Summer,
Mrs. Pink Benfield, of Alex
ander county, died suddenly in
Newton Christmas eve. She
and her husband were on their
way to the home of their sor
in Newton when Mrs. Bcnfield
died in the wagon in which they
were traveling,
Exceedingly inclement weath
er, rain, snow and sleet, pre
vailed throughout the eountry
Christmas day, hindering
Christmas celebrations to a
great extent, and followed by
a decided drop of the thermom
eter Saturday and Sunday.
The handsome eountry place
of Dr. T. P. Cheesborough, lo
cated about two miles from
Asheville, on the Swannanoa
river, was entirely destroyed by
fire of unknown origin at 5:30
Sunday morning, entailing a
loss of $15,000, which was half
covered with insurance.
Last Thursday was the one
hundredth anniversary of the
signing of the Treaty of Ghent,
which marked the close of the
last war between the United
States and England and peace
has continued since. Arrange
ments for an elaborate celebra
tion of the event were upset by
the European war.
The Duplin Enterprise figures
it out that the holly ship
ped from Duplin, Brunswick,
Onslow, Bladen and Sampson
counties brought returns
amounting tq $30,000, The
holly shipped from these east
ern counties is sold at $150 a
carload, so, if the Enterprise's
figures are right a sufficient
number of holly trees were de
stroyed to load 200 cars. The
shipment of holly from eastern
North Carolina is an industry
of recent origin, having been
started about forty years ago.
t has taken em larger propor-
10ns each year, and if the pres
ent rate is maintained for a year
or two more, it is going to come
to an abrupt end, for there will
be no holly trees to strip.
REUNITED BY "MOVIES.'
Brothers 2,000 Miles Apart See
Old Home on Screen and Then
Meet There.
New York Sun.
How two brothers, separated
by nearly 2,000 miles and for
almost 15 years, wrere, through
the production of a motion pic
ture, brought together for t
family reunion on Christmas in
their old ancestral home in Mis
sissippi is told in a letter to
George L. Sargent, the motion
picture producer and director
One of the brothers is Ben
jamin Rhodes, a portrait
painter of Danville, Pa. The
medium through which the re
union was reached was "A Gen
tleman From Mississippi," the
exterior scenes of wrhich were
laid on the old Rhodes family
estate, Arlington-on-the-Bayou,
Natchez, Miss. The other
brother's name is not given, but
he was living in Purcell, Okla.
Neither brother had been to
the old home in 15 years, and
they were so touched when, at
points far away from each other
they beheld on the screen the old
homestead and the familiar
faces of the negroes they knew
so well, that it made each man
homesick for the other. So at
the same time they wrote to
Mississippi for information and
subsequently journeyed there to
meet again.

FIGHT OF TWO PREACHERS.
Were So Ashamed About It
They Begged Their Names be
Suppressed.
Greensboro Record.
Two ministers in the country
had a fight in a church not very
long ago, and ..the matter was
heard by a magistrate in the
city Thursday, but the parties
involved were so ashamed of it
that the Record promised not
to divulge the names or the
place. It was a most disgrace
ful affair. From the evidence
adduced one man, who was hold
ing protracted services in the
church, was not making any
headway and one night spoke of
it, whereupon another preacher
sitting back in the church, told
him that it was because the
minister's wife was forever
gadding, about and talking about
everybody and everything. One
word brought on another and
finally they got together, when
one of them the man who was
sitting near the door punched
the other once or twice. The
presiding minister, however,
did not return the blow, The
aggressgr submitted, but suc
ceeded in securing a warrant for
the other man and this was the
case heard by the justice, but
a verdict of not guilty was ren
dered and the prosecuting wit
ness was taxed with the cost,
about $10s
The ' most amusing thing
abut all of it wras that the pros
ecutor did not know that by
signing the warrant he became
prosecutor. He said he did not
see the fight, but knew there
was one and was persuaded bj
a neighbor to sign the warrant.
He was a very much surprised
individual when he was called
on to pay the cost, but he "fork
ed it over all right. He is of
he opinion that somebody "p-
one over - on him and he is n.
ar wrong.
Stubbs.
Charlotte Observer.
How often has the reading
clerk called out the name
"Stubbs" in the Legislature?
The Stubbs referred to is H. W..
of Williamston, and we do not
believe a legislative roll call in
the past generation would have
been complete without his name.
For a fact, Stubbs has been go
ing to the Legislature a long
time, having been required to
serve in both houses. On sev-
eraf occasions he bucked against
being sent back, but the people
had their way, and finally he be
came reconciled and quit giving
trouble. Now it has come tc
pass that every two years he
simply shrugs his shoulders and
engages a room at the Yarboro
for the legislative term. All
this is bv reason of the fact that
in the vernacular of the day,
Stubbs is regarded at Raleigh
and at home as "a good un."
Less Meat and More People to
Eat It.
Washington Dispatch.
"Meat in America will be a
rarity before the war ends, with
its drain on our supply," says
Henry J. Williamson, govern
ment statistican in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
"The number of cattle has
diminished and the population
increased progressively for 10
years, until now they are too
widely divergent to hope to get
a full supply for at least It
vears more," he added. Mr.
Williamson has been in Chicago
and the West for more than g
month visiting stock centres.
"Unless scientific breeding
for increase is general and the
slaughter of calves ceases,
fore five years have expired
America will find herself in the
class of European countries that
have to import beef," continued
Mr. Williamson.
Increased prices for meat and
leather goods were forecasted
by government and stockyard
experts who have complied fig
ures estimating the visible sup
ply of cattle at 35,000,000, in
cluding calves, yearlings and
full-grown stock.

Conditions of famine and suf
fering in Mexieo, said by some
observers to rival the distress
in the European theaters of

Consul General Hanna sent
the following message from
Monterey :
"There is an alarming short
age of staple food supplies. Sev
eral outlying towns are appeal
ing to me for help. If the Win
ter keeps cold there will be great
suffering. I need 2,000 cheap
blankets. After four years of
war this whole country is short
of food."
Another message states that
many have died from actual
starvation, and that the need
for food, clothing and medicines
is pressing.

TO PRESERVE THE GAME.
Audubon Society Will Ask For
a State Game Commission.
Correspondence of The News-Herald.
The State Audubon Society,
since its creation in 1903, has
done a great deal of good in the
protection of our native birds
and game. But believing that
much better results can be ac-
comphshed by a State Gamp
Commission, we have prepared I
a bill providing for the creation
of such a commission, and this
bill, in a revised form, will be
introduced at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature. We
are sending a copy Of the bill to
each member of the Legislature
and will be glad to send, upon
application, acopy to any per-
sun in uie diate interested in
the preservation of our game,
tor their tnendly criticism.
When you stop to think of the
thousands of our citizens who
each year take to the fields and
woods in pursuit of game which
lures them forth has an enor
mous value, however difficult to
compute, and that it is well
worth saving. Sad to relate, of
recent years our ardent sports
men bag more recreation than
game.
m auaition to this, l am con
vinced that more non-resident
hunters come into North Caro
lina than into any other State,
except Maine, practically all of
whom are men of means, and
spend, probably, several hun
dred thousand dollars here each
year. And which . is of even
greater importance, they see our
.latural resources and advantag
es, and the possibility of invest
ment and development in North
Carolina, which means most ef-
tectual advertising for the
State.
H.very other State in the j
Union, except two, has a State
game commission, or commis
sioner, ana most oi them are
making frantic and costly ef
forts to save the remnants of
their vanishing game. We have
made a, great mistake in the
past in not giving the subject
oi game protection more care-
iui attention, ana i hope vou
will help us arouse the people
to the realization of the neces-
siyt of doing something in this
direction before it is too late.

Read this Morganton case:
J. M. Patton. agent Standard Oil
Co., Anderson St., Morganton, N. C.
says: "I had a dull pain across the
small or my back, caused by my kid
neys. I had always heard Doan s
Kidney Pills highly spoken of and I
got some at the Burke Drug Co.
They removed the soreness and paiw
in my back after I had used the first
box. My experience has taught me
that Doan's - Kidney Pills are a fine
kidney medicine."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney rem
edy get Doan's Kidney Pills-
the same that Mr. Patton had.
