A lie continually repeated comes
no nearer the truth 4than- when it
was first told. Telling false, things
over and over will not change their
color only to make them lacker. So
stop the old false things that come
from your life and begin a new false
step or statement or utterance.
Some Dark r
TOnffs
There are things blacker than night
some of them have been at work in
this lty for some time past. Some of
the men that have been promoting
these dark things think that they
can brow beat individuals and a com
munity into silence and passiveness.
These same men think that a few
threats that they can keep back
many things that might come out
against them. This paper does not
care to ever speak about individuals
except in the best terms, it had much
rather not be forced to do it but a
community cannot be allowed to suf
fer for the sake of a small ring that
seeks to ruin. In the center of that
ring is the red fire of a mad man, and
he is usiHg every tool of the devil
that he can secure to strike at men
newspapers the thing would
self at once. The journalism of New
York city has been dragged to ths
lowest depth of degradation. The
grossest railleries and fair discussion
have gone on unchecked. One can
not help sympathizing with the decent
newspapers. . y
ft is iatedV tim lor de&a ! peo
ple everywhere to refuse to look at
such rotteness. The voice of the best
minds to day is against such corrup
tion and it must go or it will ruin.
People are apt- to fall or rise to" th
level of the matter which they read,
if'" the matter is corrupt, the charac
ter win soon be corrupt, if the mat
ter is high and pure the character
will tend to go upward. Be careful
never to let foul printed matter enter
your home to poison the minds of
people. And if you care for
your community and nation do all
that you can to put such things down.
Why don't some of the infidel cri- f with whom he ls mad- To try to un
,c f th THhio mfli aermIne "e character of men or of
tics of the Bible make a better one?
It is a bad thing to take the crust
from a child unless they can give
him a better piece of bread. It Is
worse for the Infidel to thrust at
the Bible and the Church unless he
would give something better in their
places.
The lies of hate grow out of date
and make men sick. Change is the
thing that keeps up consciousness
and even the mud turtle at times
wants a breath of pure air. Then
rise to the surface of a manly life
and think on and tell the things that
are true. It will make all life sweet
er and better if you only do this.
a man is blacker than night in its
devilishness, but o try to disrupt
churches to satisfy a personal Bpleen
can be no other work than that of a
demon. You may put it down as true
hereafter that unless this hellishness
is stopped that there will be some
real light turned on this dark ring.
The Tar Heel building may bum but
other papers will run and the truth
shall be told.
Would you make your town better
then lift up your brother, never pull
him down. If you are mad whistle,
don't curse. If some one has done
you wrong hope that he wont do so
a"ain. When wrong yourself be man
enough to quit it Love your etown,
jour people and right but more than
all these love God and things will
go better.
Moral Leaders
In any town whether they be preach
ere or teachers or business men the
moral leaders should rise up and put
down the disrupting factors in its
midst. The moral leader who ever be
may be or what ever is his calling
in lite that is not striking at the
greatest evils in a communit is sure
a poor if not a careless leader. If
it is the Near Beer Joints it is the
moral leaders duty to strike them.
If it is the dissipation of manhood
because df bawdy institutions they
should hit that evil with all their
In Honor of Mrs. J. B. Griggs.
The Tuesday evening Club enter
tained on Saturday evening at the
home of Mrs. Dan Morgan in Main
street, complimentary to Mrs. J B.
Griggs on" the eve of her departure
for her new home in Iowa. Mrs.Griggs
is a charter member of the club and
by her charming personality has en
deared herself to each member. The
home was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and the evening was a
delightful one though a thread of sad
ness ran through the whole. Miss
Sophy Martin the senior member pre
sented te Mrs. Griggs in the name
of the club a lovely set of gold pray
er book markers, the presentation was
a gem, a few beautiful words touch
ing expressed, Mrs. Griggs emotion
prevented a very audiable reply. f-
ter the game of bridge beautifully ap
pointed refreshments were served.
Mrs. Griggs aeparture is deeply re
gretted by a wide circle of friends.
She will be greatly missed in church
work as well as in the social life.
Since the announcement of her de
parture she has received many social
attentions.

Foul Journalism
Truth from some centers of mali
cious falsehoods would indeed be as
unnatural as the flashing of light
ning from a clear sky. It is natural
for a pole cat in madness and fright
to throw off his foul smell to make
men sick and just so is it the na
ture of some jnen to throw off foul
things from their corrupt lives. But
it does seem that they might try to
rise a little above the low level of
t - i
sucn animais and try -to clean up
themselves and live above such stink
ing pasiBions.
Citizens, stop, look, listen for there
is danger rh the corruption that is
being poured out on this community.
Is; it Knobbs Creek water that is poi
Boning this town? Or is it the breeze
from the Pasquotank that would sink
your men and your town in ruin? ffe
is not personal enemity more than
anything else that is damaging this
City? Property has lost value, 'men
have lost work and conditions are
not good for general prosperity. The
cause is not hard to find and neither
will it he hard to remedy when the
men come together and stand firm
against personal spleen working it
self ut in Stech a wav as tn ininvn
Foul, corrupt and debased journa
lism is one of the great curses Of
this age. More sections than those
of the large cities are infected by
this evil, it is coming to be a real
social malady. It ever flows from dis
torted imaginations, foul minds and
rotten hearts that seek to create sen
sations by attacking men of reputa
tion and character. Such journalismis
without character and therofore. can
have no regard for truth and it "must
therefore by virture of. its very na
ture live on lies, scandal, slander
and debasing sensations of its own
creation. In a late expression from
Mayor Gaynor of New York is found
the thought of men every where who
are thinking of the well being of the
nation and her communities in re
gard to foul journalism. When he
says:
"Such journalism is, of course
absolute defiance of the criminal law
and it did enter my mind to publicly
call on the grand juries and the disr
trict attorney to protect me from it,
hut I was weak and feared people
would say I was thin skinned. But
