l'HE NEVVS-HEEALD. MORG ANTON, N. C, NOVEMBER 10TH, 1921 THt News-Herald. MORGANTON, N. C. Published Every Thursday MISS BEATRICE COBB, Editor and Owner. Entered at the postoffice at Morgan ion, N. C, as serond-class mail mutter TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year ...$2.00 Six Months .. I-00 Three Months 50 CASH IN ADVANCE , THE COUNTRY PAPER. -(Humbly submitted for Home Town Paper Week). I am the Country Paper. I am not much. That is what everybody says. And they make fun of mo some thing awful. But I notice That I am always read, re-read, borrowed, quoted, cussed, called upon as a witness in neighborhood disputes and family rows, and in ,what I con sider as proof of my amiable and m dispensible qualities it is of frequent occurrence that I am given to the baby as a certain and immediate pa cifier when all other remedies and attractions have failed. I am not much, and so would not boast of the trite and sundry things I do. For example: I light the kerosene lamp or the candle; I stot the cracks in the floor and the ceiling I replace the broken window pane, and as wall-paper I am a, hum-din-ger; J wrap up the butter, honey or the baby with equal security and smartness; I gossip about the weath er, the crops and the prevailing, dis eases; I report the chronic grievances of the community pessimists, and boast of the performances of the lo cal hustlers and boosters; I announce the births, deaths ,accidents aner mar riages of my community with equal impartiality and due punctuality, seasoning each bit of news with just enough of that home-made wit and flavor as to cause each party in in terest to feel that the currents-week's paper is a special edition put out pur posely to feature THE PARTICU LAR ITEM of important local news. I am not much. But with .some of my readers I have a regular "stand-in." .1 think I'll name a few now: The fond father and mother; The radiant bride ad bridegroom; These are my pets and "darlings;" Then, in order, the mortgagor and mortgagee, the tax - delinquent, the money lender, the borrower, the los er, the finder, the man with property or goods to unload, the man without property and goods looking for a "regular" bargain, the man out of work, the man with THE job; and such like. What else? Oh, yes: I act as a local clearing house for conceits, remedies, suggestions, ad vice, admonitions, quack theories, pet illusions, daring experimentations, and good and evil report; and as a repository for kicks, complaints, freak discoveries and near-poetry. I am a bill-board; a court calendar; a judgment docket; a real estate bul letin; the lawyer's guide; the doc tor's record; the minister's directory; the tradesman's catalogue; the house keeper's sketch-book; society's di ary; the editor's plaything or worry: and everybody's business. I am not much. Everybody says so. But, honesty-to - goodness, what wotild my town and community be without me! (Note In printing the above The News-Herald is breaking an estab lished rule not to print anything that does not carry the author's signature, Hcvever, this appeals to us as being decidedly worth the breaking of the rule.

Much of this work is of necessity for chanty cases and in or der to do it the hospital must receive gifts from those who are able to help keep the work going. Some of the good ladies of the town have arranged for a gift day for the hospital next Tuesday. A silver tea will be held at the Methodist church but the announcement is made that produce and other gifts will be ac ceptable. We trust that the response will be very generous, y THAT MYSTERIOUS LIGHT ON THE BROWN MOUNTAIN Another Creditable Witness Has Observed and Tells About Strange Phenomenon. A Lenoir correspondent writes that the Brown mountain light promises to be an added attraction to Blowing Rock. The past summer it was seen on numerous occasions by visitors there. Among those who had the pleasure of seeing this phenomenon from Blowing Rock was Rev. Edgar Tufts, superintendent of Lees-McRae institute, Banner Elk., In a recent is sue of The Pinnacle, a monthly mag azine published by the school, Mr. Turfts hadthe following to say: "For several years we have heard the people who live in certain locali tis in the Grandfather mountain re gion speak of a mysterious light that would occasionally rise from a cer tain locality on or near. Brown moun tain. For a long time we did not have much faith in the light. But on Sun- The news, of the death of the be loved poet-emeritus of the North Carolina Press Association, Dr. Wil liam Laurie Hill, of Maxton, was a source of grief to hundreds of ad miring friends throughout the State. He was a man of rare gifts,- his poetry of decided merit, but mor than that was the big, generous heart of the man that held so much sympathy and loving kindness for all mankind. Dr. Hill's life left an im press for gootl on the State whose praises he delighted to sing. It is reported to The News-Herald that the floors of some of the bridges of Burke county are in much need of repair. The lower bridge on the Ca tawba is said to be In bad shape, one good lady telling us that her horse fell through it and miraculously es caped injury. We respectfully refer the matter to the county commission- Anent a reference made last week Dan Tompkins in the Jackson County Journal gives us this information: "A ruckus, Miss Cobb, is a ruckus We presume that it is derived from ruck or ruciion; but we are not sure and respectfully refer you to the American Etymfogical Society, Har vard University, Cambridge, Mass. Horace Kephart says that it should be spelled rookus." C.

The distance looked to be about 15 miles, after ifc .buddenly, without any warning, it i uoc out oi me aarK rim of the moun tains, until it reached what looked to be altitude of several feet. This was about 9:30 p. m. In something like half an hour it appeared again." FAR SIGHTED Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. A railway employee was in the wit ness box, and was being cross-examined by a very self-important young lawyer about a case which had re sulted m a damage suit as the conse quences of an accident on the rail road, i - ,"ou sajd that you saw this man fa from the train?" said the lawyer.' I saw him fall, yes," replied the railway man. "Yet it was night time," insisted the lawyer. "And vmi J end of the train and the man was at the other. Do you expect any intel ligent jury to believe such a yarn? aiT you see at night?" a miIlion miles, I think " replied the railway man. "I can see tnemoon. How far is that. The lawyer retired.

The governor was elated over the deal, bo were the members of the council of state, who sat with him while the deal was being closed. The bonds were brought by a syn dicate of New York bankers. Governor Morrison declared that North Carolina's credit is gilt-edged. The sum of fifteen millions could have been sold as easily as the five mil lions were disposed of, he said. As a matter of fact, in the opinion of the governor, there is absolutely ho need for any pessimism. It has been proven that North Carolina asks no quarters of anybody and is on a basis that is sound as Gibraltar. Appeal to Citizens of Burke to Contribute to Worthy Cause; Our Quota 1000 Members Some of the women who essay po litical leadership among the women seem determined not only to shame their friends but to do their best to prove true what their enemies said of them that they wouldn't know what to do with the ballot, if they had it and are therefore unfit to use it. The womTern we have in mind are calling on Washington for another constitu tional amendment to compel the btates to give them equal rights of citizenship with men. They say they have asked for equal rights legisla tion in Alabama and Louisiana, and the men, the mean things, just won't whats that ballot in their hands for? it the. poor, heirless sisters could only see that they have in. their hands a weapon that will give them what they want m any State, if they will bufruse it effectively, they wouldn't need to ask for anything; they would simply reach out and take it.

States ville Landmark. . .. To the Citizens of Burke County: The annual Red Cross Roll Call be gins November 11th and continues to November 24th. This is a campaign for membership in the American Red Cross to obtain money to further the great work done by the Red Cross in their efforts to alleviate the sufferings of mankind in all parts of the world. All of us and especially the ex-service man remembers the Red Cross and its unparalelled work in the World War. Quite a few of us think that now the war ' is over and that we are again enjoying blessings of peace, that the work of "the Red Cross has been completed; but that is far from the truth of the case. The Red Cross is still and shall ever hf an active organization, always ren dering aid to the weak, sick, and dis tressed wnerever they be found. Last year alone, the Red Cross spent $10,000,000 in its great effort to strengthen and aid the poor ex-soldier who had been left, i condition from service that he had rendered democracy in its struggle with autocracy. The Red Cross is always found administering relief in time for peace as well as in time of war by mitigating the sufferings caused by famine, fire, flood pesti lence, or any calamity that might be fall mankind. The membership fee is only $1.00. Your joining will strengthen the or ganization, and help Burke county obtain her quota of 1000 members. We are too proud of our Grand Old County to have her fall short of what has been asked of her in this great wont. Your membership dollar will help keep Burke county always ready to do her traditional duty. Respectfully yours, . W. E. GILLAM, Chm. Amer. Red Cross Roll Call. A Timely Suggestion.
