The Country Boy's Creed
I believe the country
which God made is more
beautiful than the city
which man made; that
life out of doors and in
touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. . I
believe work is work
wherever I find it, but
that work with Nature is
more inspiring than work
with the" most - intricate
machinery. V believe
that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you
do, but on how you do it;
that opportunity comes to
a boy on the farm as of
ten as to a boy in the city;
that life is larger and
freer and happier on the
farm than in the town;
that my success depends
not upon my location, but
upon myself not upon
my dreams, but upon
what I actually do; not
upon luck but upon pluck.
I believe in working when,
you work, and in playing
when you, play, and in
giving and demanding a
square deal in every act
of life.-Edwin Osgood

ATTEMPTED TO END LIFE.
Arthur, L. England Fired Bullet lnt
His Left Breast.
v ....... ' . :
Arthur L. England, a young man 23
years of age, who has been employed
by the fire department for several
yearsas driver, of the Steamer Com
pany, attempted to end his life at an
early hour Saturday morning by shoot
ing ;himself with a revolver. The bul
let entered the left breast, just below
the heart, and inflicted a most danger
ous wound. He was removed to St.
Leo's hospital, but his condition was
so serious that it was deemed inad
visable to attempt an ; operation for
the removal of the bullet.
Along with other members of the
fire department, England slept in the
fire station on Davie street occupied
by the Eagle Hose Company and the
Steamer Company. His attempt at
self-destruction was made shortly af
ter 6 o'clock; Several firemen who
were in the buildmg at the time heard
the shot and ran into 'the sleeping
apartments to find England lying on
his bed, the smoking revolver clench
ed tightly in his right hand. He was
conscious and remarked, 'Tve ruined
myself forever." In response to a
question as to why he had shot him
self, England said, "I just, couldn't
stand it any longer." He had wor
ried a good deal over debts he owed,
and before shooting himself wrote
notes to two friends, concerning small
amounts of money he owed them.
Other than the fact of being in1 debt,
there is no known reason why the
young man should have attempted to
end his life,
England is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
It. L; England and a grandson of
Constable David Scott. He has a wife
and a baby eight months old. He has
a good record as an employe of the
fire department.

trated lecture ' hef ore the teachers
who are attending the summer

marks a new method' in education,
arid, is typical of present day ef
forts to clinch and direct the at
tention of the child mind in the
most--forceful manner along the
channels sought for it to follow,
was advanced by boVh argument and
demonstration. The point was made,
also, that not only is the "talking
machine', of . practical benefit in mat
ters of education, but is cultural in
its influence over children, bringing
them' in touch with the masters in
a way they could not have other
wise. -'
The record method ot teaching is
coihparatively new, but already; in
the country there are some 500 of
the machines in. service, tney
have been found to be of great
value, l and to be productive of help

find favor in North Carolina schools
was indicated by the unusual atten

tended that the prohibition would go
far toward solving the "high cost o.
living" by increasing the supply cf
beef cattle and in that way lower the

Farmers and
Business Mm
Rapid strides have been
made in agricultural lines
during this generation.
The successful farmer of
today must not only be a
good agriculturist but a
good business man as
well. Farming has be
come a business and, of
course, it is - the biggest
business in the . country
with the greatest compe
tition. The man who makes a
real: success of farming
must be as well posted in
his line as manufacturers
and merchants must bo
in theirs. The Monthly
Crop report issued by this
-Bank will prove of great
value to the farmer who
realizes the necessity of
bshjLfj well posted regard
Kng crops in all parts
f0f die country. ThciD
reports will be sent to ycti
monthly if you desiro
them.
