There was a violent electrical dis play, it grew dark, rain poured down, and in many places snow and hail fell. The wind also was unusually high. People were "frightened. Later it grew decid edly colder. Immediately all the champions of the ground hog be gan cheering for their favorite, in the faee of the fact that since the 2nd of last February he has not backed up his reputation with as much as a week of winter weather. Who said he is a liar? T.tfey cried, boastfully, throwing back their shoulders and gazing around with arrogant eyeballs. Shucks! The ground hog "would be convicted iu a court of justice for being an im postor quicker'n than you could snap your fingers, taking the evi dence since the second of last monthyjntil now.

Millions of robins are in evi dence in the country now and many are being killed. While the robin is esteemed as meat, yet it is a valuable friend of the farmery destroying pestiferous insects and worms, and is altogether harmless. No farmer should allow these birds to be killed on his farm. Saturday night Mrs. Chas . D. Mclver, of Greensboro, addressed a large audience in the courthouse on the betterment of schools. She talked for over an hour on the subject and said many things that struck home, among them she noted that there were too many ohildren assigned to a single teacher in the Lexington school, and said that there ought to be a law" against placing more than 25 under one teacher's care. She scored the town for not improving the school grounds, saying they should be turfed and walks laid. As a matter of fact the red mud surrounding the graded school building is a disgrace. Mrs. Mc lver also rapped parents for pay ing so little attention to the schooling of their children. She said that if a man had a hog on on the edge of town, or a colt, he would visit it at least once a mouth, yet parents rarely visit the schools to see how their own children are being trained. JThere are a great many very good reasons why parents do not and should not habitually visit schools. y Tough on the Young Men. There is some talk of a move ment ob the part of the young la dies not to allow gentlemen friends to accompany them home from church unless the said gen tlemen friends are brave enough to go with the ladies and sit with them during the sermon . Should such a movement, on tho part of the fair sex, start in Wadesboro, it would almost stop courtship here and the results might be disastrous. Wadesboro Ansoni- ' an. Kills Would-Be-Slayer.

A few day 8 ago Miss Ada Cook, a verv respectable voung girl of Davie county, aged about 17 years, attempted to commit suicide by cutting her throat. The cause is unknown but some think it is on account ot love attairs. one is a sister of W. H. Cook, Esq , of this county, and a first cousin cf Deputy Sheriff Blaylock, of Cool Spring township. (Correspond ence.) Postmaster R. S. Templetoa, of Mooresville. who attended the Taft inauguration at 'Washington last week, passed through States ville Saturday en route home. While in Washington Mr. Temple ton was painfully injured by a fall on the ice. The side of his head and face . are badly scratched and bruised as a result of the fall. Rev. J. F. Mitchiner, pastor of Western Avenue Baptist church, who has been considering a call to the pastorate of the Hamlet Bap tist church the past few. weeks, wired the Hamlet Baptists yester day that he had decided to de cline the call. Mr. Mitchiner's friends here are much gratified to know that he will remain with his present charge, John F. Myers, the New Jersey man who was recently reported in a Bridgeton, N. J., paper as stat ing things about Statesville which are gross misrepresentations, has written private letters to a num ber of Statesville acquaintances offering an explanation which hardly explains. The Landmark will give Mr. Meyers' side of the case in next issue, with maybe a few words of comment. Rev. J. M. Wharey, who is supplying the pulpit of tha -Fiistj Presbyterian church, is noted for strong and vigorous sermons. His sermon Sunday morning on the sin of covetnesB selfishness was a powerful presentation of the evils of an insidious sin which is denounced in the Bible as one of the most jjeinous sins. The ser mon attracted much attention and much favorable comment. . Friday T. T. Caldwell, of the Troutman community, whose barn was burned recently, Bwore out a peace warrant for Jas. Brookahire, his brother-in-law, who is charged with burning the barn. The case was to have been heard before Jus tice Turner Saturday, but was postponed until yesterday after noon, when it was heard by Justice King. Mr. and Mrs Caldwell allege that Brookshire has made threats against them and they are much afraid of him. They seem to fear that he will burn their jdwellicg or do them bodily harm and Mrs. Caldwell becomes almost hysteri cal at times. At the trial yester day she was in a pitiable state ' of mind. After hearing much evi dence and argument by attorneys 'Squire King decided that Mr. Caldwell had little ground , on which to demand a peace bond and he dismissed the case. The whole affair is most unfortanate and deplorable. Chas. G. Armfield, who recently retired as deputy register of deeds has secured a position as teller of the Elkin National Bank and will leave Monday for Elkin to take up his new work. Dr. A. B. Burns, who came to Statesville from Atlanta about a year ago and has since been locat ed here for the practice of his pro fession, having offices with Dr. Albert Houck, has decided to lo cate at Cleveland to take' up the practice of Dr. W.

"If labor unions picket a fac tory in an attempt to boycott the goods made in it, thus putting the owner to expense for guards and employes, they must reimburse him for such expense, according to a1 ruling February 9th, 1909, by Justice Mills, sitting in the Su preme Court. The cane in point was heard by Justice Mills in Jan uary. It was brought by Joseph W. Jones, president of the Jones Speedometer Company, which has a factory in New Rochelle and another in Harlem, The suit was directed against George M.

An Intimation That It Is Saying too Much 1 to North Carolina People Just Now. That it does. -And it talks to Southern people as loud as to our brethren of the NoiJh, - When we were poor we spent our time abus ing the tariff. Now we abuse it only in spots. Lousiaun wants her sugar protected, and the lumber interests are clamoring for their share. We formerly berated the trusts uteraly flayed them alive Now we speak softly about them and then turn pale when they threaten to leave us. Of course we Btill pour cut vials of wrath against the Standard Company and old John D. Rockfeller. for he lives in New York and his com pany has small holdings in North Carolina, but we have changed our attitude towards tha American Tobacco Co., and all because the Dukes are spending money freely m Durham town and at other places. The Dukes are also about to swipe every ounce of water means that they will ultimately t the factories, too, and the statesmen who were trained to to abuse trusts say in a whisper, 'Be careful or you will injure the business interests." We listened to a speech in the Senate last week, of remarkable pungency and power. It was by Senator Lockhart of Anson'covnty, on this very question. He warn ed the Legislature against the evil day and pointed out that the cra ven cowardice of the Kentucky Legislature compelled the Night Riders to bring the American Tobacco Company to its knees; and he urged the Senate to re member what had been promised the people on every stump in North Carolina ; but the "business inter ests" now dominate the situation, since the election is over, and the very men so violent three or four months agev are gentle" as cooing doves today. Money has spoken. Have you ever noticed how com pletely a man's attitude changes when he rises in the scale of pros perity? We happen to think of a man who at one time would have all but'laid downjhis life for the "dear pee pul," but who, having struck luck and made $10,000 on his truck farm, hasgrown wonderfully conservative, and thinks first of the moneyed clssses and afterward of the common folks whom he formerly adored. Money is talk ing to our Southern people as it never talked before. We are all alike and the best of us listen to its soothing song. Chairity and Children. Unusual Features of the Inauguration.

The burned building waB owned by Charles H. McKnight and as insured for $3,500, about half its value. Dr. Bigas carried insur- J ance to the amount of $7,000 on his furniture and eauinment. X Greensboro correspondence Char lotte Observer. "Jew" is the Correct Designation, "The proper term to use of the modern descendants ot the ancient patriarchs and prophets is Jew," declared Rabbi David Philipson in an address at the Avondale Temple last night. His subject was, "Jew, Israelite, Hebrew," and he told of the meaning of the three terms . "Broadly speaking, I. sriould say that Hebrew is the linguistic term and is properly used of. those who speak the Hebrew language," said he. "Since the Jews speak the language . f tbe country which they are citizens, Hebrew is not the proper term to be applied to them, even though it is the cus tom of some society reporters, when describing some function in swell Jewish circles, to speak of the 'Hebrew aristocracy.' "On the same broad lines it may he said that Israelies was the Na tional name of the people while they dwelt in Palestinei Since the Jews are no longer a nation, but a religious community, scattered among the nations of tha world and attached politically, to their several fatherlands, this term Israelite also is not, properly used nowadays whea speaking, of them Tt e name Jew is the religious cog nomeu corresponding to the term applied to the faith . In speaking of this faith we call it neither Hebranism n r Israelitism, but Judaism, These are correspond ing terms, iience, i should say that the proper term to use of the modern descendants of the patri archs and prophets is Jew That a hostile world has frequently at tached an opprobrious signifi cance to this term is just the rea son why we should hold it in hon or and invest it with a true digni ty.
