Tne School Teacher's Creed.
"I believe in boys and girls, the
men and women of a great tomorrow,
and whatsoever the boy soweth the
man shall reap. I believe in the
curse of ignorance, in the efficacy
of schools, in thelignity of t 'ach
ing, and in the joy of serving others.
I believe in wisdom as revealed m
human lives as well as in the pages
of a printed book, in lessons taught,
not so much by precept as by exam
ple, in ability to work with the
hands as well as to think with the
head, in everything that makes life
large and lovely. I believe in beau
ty in the schoolroom, in the home,
in daily life, and in out of doors. I
believe in laughter, in love, in faith,
in all ideals and distant hopes that
lure us on. I believe that every
hour of every day we receive a just
reward for all we are and all we do.
I believe in the present and its op
portunities, in the future and its
promises, and in the divine joy of
living. Amen. Edwin Osgood
Grover.

A few months ago Marion But

were claiming to be the real thing
among the Republicans o North

pears to be claiming anything per

not seem to want to share lu the
glory the Republicans won in the

ABSOLUTELY A CHANGE.
About seven years ago my health
began to fail. I was completely
"run down," and my blood got in a
bad condition. I suffered with se
vere pains in different parts of mv
body, so severe that I could not lie
in any position long at a time, and
in coi)stMiience of this I "did not
know what it was to get a good
night's rest. I had been taking dif
ferent medicines for the trouble for
three fears, but got no relief. Then
I thought I would try Mrs. Joe
Person's Keniedy; I had no faith
in it, or anything else for my case,
but I thought it would be a change.
The third night after I started on
it I got the first good night's sleep I
had had in many months. 1 became
hopeful. The Remedy relieved the
terrible pains I had been suffeimg
from so long, and being able to
Bleep well at night, I soon began to
feel like a new man. My appetite
began to improve, I began to build
up in everv respect. I continued its
use until I took about three dozen
bottles, when I knew I was a well
man. I have been cured four years,
have never felt those pains since,
and am now a perfectly healthy
man, ncr have I ever needid any of
the Remedy since.

WHERE PKEJUKY SEEMED
RAMPANT AND DEFIANT.
The last term of Superior court
in Durham has revealed a sad state
of affairs in the matter of perjiuy.
Judge Moore and Solicitor Biooks
stated publicly that never in their
experience had they 6een so ui.vny
willing perjurers on tne stauu.
So shockiug was the apparent
disregard for sacred oaths that
Judge Moore went after the perjur
ers and 6ome of them were sentenced
to five yers at hard labor on the
roads for swearing falsely. Others
were sentenced to shorter terms
tut no tine sufficed. It seemed that
both whites and blacks indulged in
the pleasant pastime of swearing to
lies, and the county will be at the
expense of boarding more peerless
prevaricators man ever oeiore in
her history.
And it is well. When the law
has been violated and when witness
es are sworn and take the stand and
with no regard for their sacred
oaths utter falsehoods palpable
lies with unblushing countenance,
it is gratifying to kuow that we
have judges and solicitors who are
brave enough and interested enough
to enforce the law. A light fine
would be of no avail, but when a
man is brought to his senses by a
term on the roads at hard labor for
swearing falsely, the result of such
punishment on others who are them
selves ready to follow suit in the
lying business must certainly be for
the good.
It has been so here of late that a
mail charged with crime, and espec
ially the crime of violating the law
in the matter of whiskey selling,
had no scruples about going on the
witness stand and swearing to auy
sort of statement that met his pur
pose. And it was for this reasou
that Judge Mcore and Solicitor
Brooks took the bull by the hon.s
and landed about a half dozen of
them on the roads for five years at
hard labor.
When a community gets so that
it is williug to bear false witness
when it becomes so depraved and so
hardened that men iu it will will
ingly go on the witness stand aud
swear to most any kind of & lie
things are getting to be serious, it
is a near approach to a reign of law
lessness that must prove most dis
astrous. When a child finally for
gets the teaching of the mother aud
will lie to its parents, you can put
it down that the child is going to
make a most unsatisfactory citizen.
And when a citizen finally becomes
imbued with the belief that his
oath means nothing; that he can,
with impunity, take the witness
stand and swear to anythiug that
suits his purpose, you may look out
for what we might term galloping
degeneia. y. And when that stae
of degeneracy comes look out for
your lives, look out for your pro
pertylook out for anythiug you
set value Upon.
There can be no doubt of tne
effect of this term of court in Dur
ham. It means that when the
special term is called iu November
and followed by the regu'ar term iu
December, those who last. week
might with cheerfulness have com
mitted perjury will have a care.
They will see that their friends are
on the roads and in stripes aud
must do time for five years for reck
lessness in their statements, and no
doubt all other criminals will have
a more thoughtful care.
Judge Moore and Solicitor Brooks
are both to be congratulated on tlie.ff
work. Some may thiuk that five
years on the public roads for a mis
statement of facts, under oath, is a
little severe, and we will grant that
it must be quite a j ir to the perjurer
receiving the tidings but the way j ot all good than by helping in the
to break up crime is sometimes se-1 care and equipment for lif of these
verity as well as certainty of pun- homeless children)' Such a method
