V'' if r 4' ' i if ii i The Democrat. O. J. PETERSON, Editor and Publisher "HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UN AWED BY INFLUENCE, UNBRIBED BY GAIN." TVitrd aacond-class matter at tli Metafile at Clinton. N. C under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879, Subscrintlon urice. $1.60 a year, 75c for alx months, 60c. for three month. It ia really Governor Morrison. Let's not elect another governor for a spell yet No; don't repeal the primary law, but make It fair. It is gratifying to hear that Presi dent Wilson grows stronger .and stronger. . , The article in last week's paper en titled "Prom Another View Point should have been credited to Rev. A. R. Parshley. It is estimated that South Carolina paid more for food and feed shipped into the State last' year than its cotton crop was worth. "Moral: Make your own food and feed. With both cotton and. tobacco enough on hand already for two years at the present rate of consumption the farmers must per force turn their at tention to food crops. , Consolidated districts, modern school houses, resulting in better working conditions for teachers and a better morale among the pupils, is, it would seem, about the best remedy for the educational ills of the rural sections. "Sell all thou hast and give to the poor" was manifestly enough to make the rich young ruler see, in the" eyes of those who would -refuse to sell a bale of cotton and give it to save the lives of eight or ten men, women, or children. This is a time to "sell'' ' something at least,1 help save the lives of the starving. - ., Governor Bickett has made a most excellent governor. His administra tion has been marked by a consistent effort to benefit the average man and even his more unfortunate brother. We knew Walter, Bickett as a college student and he was a man then and his-career has not belied the promise of his youth. Secretary Daniels is right. If the world is not to disarm, then, let Amer ica have the biggest navy in the world. But America, itself stands in the way of a peace program, and only those who opposed the joining of the league can blame themselves if America must expend -billions in preparing to defend itself in case -of another war. - . Maybe, the Legislature did right in raising .the salaries of the state offi cers, but the fact .that they were glad to spend good money getting the jobs at the old salary and when a dollar would not only buy nearly so much as It is likely to buy any time during the next four years "would indicate JLbAt they could have gotten along without the increase. .' Y " . If there is a young man among our 'readers who has the ambition to be come a naval officer let him . make haste to make himself and his aspira tions known tb Congressman Brinson, who has two vacancies in the Annapo lis Naval Colleeg at his disposal. The applicant must pass examination on plane geometry, algebra to quadratics and a few other high school subjects. After March 4, If the vacancies are not filled, the president can appoint' from any section .of the country to fill them Such opportunities should not be wast ed by ambitious youth. The Mount Olive Tribune rises to remark that it doesn't understand why American ships cannot pass free through a canal that was built with American money. The Western North Carolina Railroad was built with North Carolina money, but we are confident that, even before it was leased, the editor of the Tribune would fiot have .expected to use it free, even to the extent of running his own freight car upon it. Do you understand now. Brother Brock? Prof. J. T. Alderman, of Henderson, writes to commend our stand with re spect to the eighteen-million dollar bond issue. It is apparent that those who are more familiar with general educational conditions are opposed to expending so great a sum for the bene fit of the comparatively few who haVe already had sufficient advantages to prepare for college, while there are hundreds of thousands of just as bright and worthy boys and girls who have had practically no chance to get the rudiments of an education. A letter from the editor's brother, who resides in Washington City, says: "Well,' the big inaugural plans are off. It is claimed that a delegation from Ohio, who came to gobble up the best accommodations, got sore about the price of hotel accommodations and re ported to Mr. Harding, and the 'callofiT resulted. In my opinion, however, thi8 - id not thereal reason,'' and here the reason which is not complimentary to the manager of the inauguration cere monies is given. "Again," the letter continues, "I think the demands of the negro bands and different negro orders for assignments in the parade was causing no little embarrassment, fol lowing. Mr. Harding's equality pledge. The Catholics and negroes and six mil lion German-Americans having elected him and two factions trying to domi nate him, he will' likely wish he had never been born. If you hear anything drop like a shot squirrel about March 4, just consider it the prestige of the presidency tumbling.'' , Whatever Mr. Harding's motive in calling off the extravagant prepara tions for a great inaugural ball, the act is bound to meet the approval of the people. However, if one only knew the reputation of the poker mate who has been,placed at the head of the Inaugu ral preparations, he might conclude that the act is not so entirely due to he good-sense of, the President-elect as to pressure from those who did know what a dirty wretch was selected to plan the inaugural ceremonies of me president of this great so-called Christian nation. But with our neirh. bor, we may exclaim "Excellet! Grand! Wonderful,' though Thomas Jefferson long ago Bet the example of the simple and democratic plan of inaugural, and Woodrow Wilson never had. to veto a plan already, approved to have a , great Inaugural ball, and yet we have heard no exclamations of approval and won der at such accustomed simplicity. But It is "wonderful''- that a stand-pat Re publican can even consent to such Democratic simplicity, v. Sampson Republicans can help swell the vote -of the party in the state, but when it comes' to tie distribution of pie it is considered orthodox to disre gard the wishes of the largest single voting element In the party. Sampson Republicans are men, and, if we. have judged them aright, they will not long consent to remain pawns in the hands of the dominant element in the party. Th"e treatment that Senator Butler's candidacy has received at the hands of the other leaders of the party in the state should make every self-respecting Republican in the county feel like kicking out of the traces. Sampson county Republicans accept Marion But ler as their leader, yet it seems that he is not considered gpjod enough, to receive the loyal support of those who depend upon the Sampson vote for the furtherance of their" ambitions. On the contrary, when his candidcay for the secretaryship of agriculture was well launched, his chances are imperil ed by the gratuitous thrusting forward of Mr. Morehead for a cabinet posi tion. If Butler should land, as is not so out-of-question, he may attribute his good fortune to anything else but the support of the Republican leaders of the State. , Our good friend and relative, Mr. N. Highsmith, of Franklin township, writes that he is in accord with the editor of the Democrat on about every public question that comes before the people. "I am in favor", says Mr. Highsmith, "of education and good roads regardless of taxes. They do more for the uplift and comfort and the true value of the commonwealth than anything else of earthly consideration. ram willing to be taxed to the utmost limit for good roads and education." Mr. Highsmith further says: "The Democrat, I want to say, is a clean, conservative paper and takes no stand upon public matters deserving of criti cism from any fair-minded citizen. God bless you in your efforts for the uplift ef humanity and justice and fairness for every man." Of course, the editor appreciates to the fullest this fine com mendation. It was .written, however, before our broadside of last week against the proposed eighteen-million dollar bond Issue, but we are confident that Mr. Highsmith wilj still agree with us that ,it is not necessary for one to show his loyalty to a progres sive educational policy by supporting the appropriation of these millions for the benefit of the favored few of the yduth of the state, while hundreds of thousands, just as good, just as'briglu naturally, and of as good Colonial stock, are left without the opportuni ties to get a highscbool eduaction. or even the simplest rudiments in an ef fective degree. WHY THE BAD RECORD OF THE 'SCHOOLS IN SPELLING. One of the most interesting docu ments we have recently read is a re cent copy of the Uplift, a publication issued by the Training School at Con cord, and actually printed by the boys who were sent there to be reformed. The thoughtful and thought-provoking editor of the Uplift, having reviewed the situation discovered in the public schools of the state with regard to spelling, asks why such a condition exists, stating that no, such charge could have been brought against the schools of two decades ago. . That the situation is deplorable is certain, but there are reasons for it, and chief among them we place-two: First, all the children of the communities were not in school twenty years ago; and, second, there has' been a systematic and persevering attempt to make all school work interesting. Twenty and thirty years ago? when a boy showed no inclination for. school he did not have to go, and, indeed, thousands couldn't go. The conse . quence was mat tne schools were largely composed of a picked xlass, but even then not all those who went to school became proficient in spell ing, as may be readily perceived if one has occasion lo edit letters or other matter written by men of more than the average education of those who were boys at that time. . On the other hand, today all are in school blockheads, the indifferent, those who had no right, early start, and those who have no incentive from family tradition to secure an educa tion. They are all there, with the con sequence that the average native abil ity of the pupils of this time will fail badly in a comparison with that of twenty or thirty years ago. .Next, as suggested, the effort to make all school work interesting has taken a great deal of the stamina out ot the really capable minds. The pu pils of the day have not been treated fairly or candidly. They have not been trained to think that school work is work. Try as one may, he cannot make all subjects entertaining, or, in other words, he cannot find a royal road to spelling. Moreover, we are Confident that it is a good thing that such is the case, provided the pupil is treated fairly and candidly and told that he must wwrk as' he expects to work when he becomes to be employed at other tasks. Hoeing, or scutting wood ; plowing or picking cotton ; neither is pleasant, but every farm boy knows that he must stick to his task through the long weary day,, or get what Patty gave the drum. But the same chap is actually taught to dawdle and wait for the teacher to make his task a picnic, with the conseauence that nothing worth-while is achieved, and the boy. is actually more poorly equipped to achieve in the every -day occupations of life than he would have been without the cultivation of this habit of waiting for things to be made easy. Let the boy or girl know that he has a task to perform, that, easy or other wise, the job must be done, and the work will not only be performed in a more successful manner but, likewise, the child's character will be hardened for achievement in real life, if school is not such.- ' But, again, don't let anybody fool you into thinking that all the pupils of even the old Blueback days became proficient spellers. They didn t; though the exceptional pupil did and his suc cess is remembered, while that of the many who never mastered the book at all are forgotten. Our memory is good, and we know that 'with the exception of a half-dozen of our country school mates of thirty-five to forty years ago, when the bluebackwas the chief study. for the boys and girls, the failure- to learn anything of .real practical Value was utter. Three-fourths of Ulem, to day, cannoV write two sentences with out misspelling half the words, and we are confident we do not -exaggerate, htough under the Bame conditions, ex cept at home, a few attained consid erable advancement. , '-. . A FINE SPIRIT. Newton Grove High School is the first school In Sampson County to vol untarily ask for a cut in their salaries We. have been informed that the teach ers of this school, asked for a' fifteen dollar cutjon each one of their salaries. Prof. D. H. Lashley is. Principal with Misses Kafie Williamson, Edith' Mat thews, Virginia Harriss 'and Pauline Bryant as assistants and Miss -Goldia Shiflet Music teacher. Newton Grove has a large school this year and they are doing fine work. With such a fac ulty and the spirit.they have manifest ed wb look for great and noble work to be accomplished at Newton Grove High School. " " A NEW RULING. At a joint meeting of the Board of Commissioners of , the Town of Clin ton and of the- Board of Health of Sampson County on May 17th, 1919. . It was further ordained: That all persons practicing Mid-wifery in the County of Sampson, other than Physi cians or Trained Nurses, be required to register their names and addresses with the Health Officer of the county; and that they be ' required to secure from said Health Officer a certificate of registration in their work. And said Health Officer was directed to give a Course of Instruction to said Mid-wives to the end that they may be properly equipped and informed in the work undertaken by them. . . It. was further ordained that the Reg isters of Vital Statisics be required furnish to the Health Officer a report of all births and deaths occurring in his practice, with dates thereof, to be furnished oh forms provided by the Board of Health of Sampson county. Miss Katherline Myers, of the S'tate Board of Public Health Nursing, also from the State Bqjird ofHealth, is to assist Dr. Hollingsworth in giving a course of instruction to the Midwife of Sampson County, also to issue the certificate of their registration. If any woman intends to practice Midwifery in this county she will come to the Health office Friday, Jan. 21st, and get the certificate. DR. HOLLINGSWORTH. LITTLE MARY EVELYN ROBINSON. On Friday morning," January 11th, the death angel visited the home oi Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Robinson on De Vane street and wafted the spirit of their little daughter,. Mary Evelyn, back into the' arms of the God who gave it. fche had lived just a little more than nine years to meka glad the hearts of her parents and to impress upon all with whom she came in con tact, the joy cf being 'young and the pleasures of childhood. The family and friends didn t realize that she was in Immediate danger from the effects of measles until pneumonia developed , and" then meningitis. All was done that skill and tenderness could do but God saw fit to remove her. The mystery of death we cannot un derstand for we know that God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to per- orm; He plants His foot steps in the sea and rides 'upon the storm. The joy of play and the simplicity and inno cence of childhood is something that appeals to us all and we older ones fre quently find ourselves exclaiming: Backward, O backward O time in your fight, make me a child again just for tonight And when we think of Mary Evelyn and the possibilities and hopes that the future might have had in store for her. of her mindfulness of her pa rents and others of the family and es pecially of the responsibility she as sumed In looking after the younger children, although only nine years oi age herself; then to see her tenderly laid to rest in the old family burial ground near Ingold beneath many beau tiful floral offerings.'we pause and ask ourselves why and how, but we turn away from the grave sorrowful, but re membering that God's ways are not like our ways and that His thoughts are as far above ours as the heavens are above the earth. We cannot un derstand all things neither was it so intended, but if these trials and, sor rows mean a closer walk and a deeper consecration then let us thank God for the seemingly adverse things and face the future with hope and courage be cause of the fact that God is still on His throne and that all is well. Uncle F. I. R ANOTHER COPPER STILL". Mr. H. J. Weeks, J. P., of Piney Grove, brought a copper still to Clin ton Monday morning. , Mr. Weeks with Messrs. T. K, Adams, Julius McCullen, and Cleveland Pope found the still in Joe Warren's crib. Joe Warren, colored had just moved to Mrs. Adams' place and the still was not in operation. Warren was brought to Clinton and put in jail to await tr!al. While Mr. Weeks was having a talk with Warren, Berry" Strickland, anoth er negro came into his store so drunk that he could hardly stand up, as they didnt consider him safe to be abroad Mr. Weeks deputized two more men to arrest him. When they made the arrest they found that he had whiskey in his pockets. They took his whiskey but could not get him to tell where he got it. He was brought to the jail in Clinton to rest awhile. Mr. Weeks says the man is out of the asylum having spent four years in the Goldsboro Asylum., Mr. Weeks says that the folks think that he is doing a risky business to go for the "Blind Tigers" but he isn't afraid and he expects to make it safer lor the women and children of Samp son cotinty. - The average woman wouldn't mind being poor if there were no rich peo ple. . .

MATTIE J. Mrs. Mattie J. Fryar, widow ofthe late Thomas Fryar, of Duplin, died sud denly at the ome of her daughter Mrs. C. S. Boyette, Friday about noon. Mrs. Fryar had been in . her usual health since a short illness a few weeks ago. She was the sister of the late Rev. L. JR. Carroll and of Rev. Dr. J. L. Carl roll, who resided in Asheville. She has one surviving sister, Mrs. Mary Pigford, of Magnolia. - For several years. Mrs. Fryar has been living in tifrn with her daugh ters. -Mesdames "C. S. Boyette and J. A. Mc Arthur, of Clinton. The deceased was a most estimable Christian woman, long a member of a Baptist church. The burial took place Saturday, in the ' presence of a large number of sympathizing friends, and relatives. CALLED PASTOR. fee OUnton Baptist church extended a unanimous call Sunday morning to Rev. E. T. Carter, of Pennsylvania, to become its, pastor. ' Mr. Carter held meetings two, or three years ago in this county, at Lisbon, Garland, and White Oak, and was very much admir ed by those fortunate enough to hear bim and become acquainted with him. He was informed immediately by wire ot the call and as he had already ex pressed a decided disposition to come, it is hoped that a prompt acceptance will follow and that. Mr. Carter will soon be on the field. We understand that Mr. Carter is a native of England and was educated in London (probably at the Spurgeon College). He has been in America' since young manhood. ANf3 A BIG PART OF IT IS IN SAMPSON. So far thi3 season the Dunn-Dike market has sold less than 15,000 bales, about 10,000 of this having been mar- rketed in Dunn. It is estimated that at least 15,000 bales still remain in the hands of farmers who will market their holdings here.

A. Grady's discourse on "The Effect of Religion Upon Law" which was delivered to a congregation of over three hundred in the Methodist Church, Sunday night. This was the second of the series of four union ser vices with Clinton's Pastors have ar ranged. The service was conducted by Rev. E. H. Davis. Rev. G. M. Matthis read the Scripture and Rev. A. R. Parshley led in prayer. The music was by the combin,ed choirs of the city, ac companied by the orchestra of the Methodist church. Mrs. Black and Mr. Easoni sang a delightful duet. Espec ially good was the wonderful congrega tional singing in the old hymns '.'Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "How Firm a foundation". i Mr. Grady was, i introduced by Rev. Mr. Davis and made a most scholarly and profound address. He said that the English Comnion-Jaw as originally constituted was founded on human in stincts, but that every beneficial addi tion to it "was drectly, attributable to the influence of the Christian Religion. Christianity, he said, tempered the harshness of the law, and he predicted that Christianity would ultimately cast out capital punishment in its entirety. Mr. Grady closed with a stirring appeal for obedience to law and for the incul cation of xa proper respect for law in children. Col. C. M. Faircloth will be the next layman to speak. He will speak on Christianity as a Unifying Factor in Social and Industrial Disputes," " next Sunday night at the Presbyteriau Church. Dr, O. L. Parker will close the series on Jan. 30th with an address in the Episcopal Church on "Religion in Relation to Public Health.' ' REV. A. R. PARSHLEY.
