Salisbury, February 5, 1913 The ground hcg undoubtedly saw his shadow last Sunday and the weather we will . get for the next six weeks will no doubt con- vinoa the most skeptioal. Let all who are interested in the new onarter and a bktteb Salisbury meet with the commit tee in W. H. Woodson, Esq 's of fice thia evening and tomorrow and then attend themasB meeting in the court house Thursday night. An opportunity for the people to say what they want and what they don't want is quite a rarity and should be taken advantage of. Come out! The question of divorce was not anoint for consideration during the recent campaign, yet certain attorneys in the legislature have taken it upon themselves to let down the bars so that divorce" may be obtained easily. Such a bill has already pissed the hou?? and is now before .lie Senate and will come up for consideration at an early day. No doubt our Sen ator, T. D. Brown, would be glad to know how the people of thi? county stand on this question, so if any are opposed to loose and easy divoroes, they should write him at once and ask that he lnlp to kill the bill when it ccmes np Later: This bill has been kill cd in the Senate. In the death, of Rev. J. N Siallings the writer feels the loss of a true friend and at one tim an associate, the community loses a valuable citizen and the Baptist ohurcb a loyal and consistent ser vant. Rev. Stalling was a tire less worker, well educated and keen witted. a man who had opinions of his own and the oour age to assert them, and what is more to the point he was general ly right. Like all men of such parts he necessarily made enemies aud although be made mistakes they were oi the head and not o A. 1 J- 3 1 in) naart, ana nis sins were more righteous and in their nature re buffs to sinful man than otherwise As Christ offended sinners so did b.9. His eoarse may at times have been severe and indiscreet but none the less just. He fought a good fight, he contended with the flesh and the devil until the last hour, he won, and his end was crowned ith a hallow of peace and "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." J tree women of the red ligh district were before Judge Kluttz in the county court yesterday morning on a charge of leading an idle and immoral life. They plead guilty and were fined $25 and costs and were sentenced to thirty days in jail, provided, they are to be found in the city on Monday, Pebruary 10th. It would certain ly be refreshing to believe this was the beginning of a ten-year cam paign to clear up said red light and all other immoral joints here. The practice during the last fifty years of driving these women out and allowing them to return in a few weeks is a waste of time. If the people really want to clein up such conditions they mast first re form themselves and then put men in offie who will do their du ty seven days in the week and- ev ery week in the year. The Watchman's greatest sin has been in the advocacy of morality, right eousness and high class men for officials. It realizes that there are two daises, those who are with it and those who are agaiost it; or those who are in favor of the immoral Salisbury and those who favor a righteous city. I Any one who attempts to do his duty in the highest sense need not .ex pect to pacify the devil and 'his devotees with soft words and gen- tie approaches. for with all ; of man'a ouutiing he ii but a . .toy. in the handi of his Sautauio - Majes ty, cIq other words, no one can consistently be for and against a moral question at oce and the same time, nor is it Very respect able, to occupy a position on the fence.- Thb Watchman may not have sprouted any wings, nor is it claiming superior virtues, but it is ever astingly against immora'i ty and thoBe who are openly aad deliberately responsible for it, and it .makes no reservations. The immoral ity prevalent here would have vanished years ago, yea it would have never made these parts its habitat, if it had not been for (he soft peddle operators. MEETING OF COUW COMMISSIONERS.

The board has taken the matter under consideration and has or dered that an architect be in structed to draw plans for the proposed additions. TOTAL 0FM000 ASKED A CAMPAIGN BEGUN AMONG THE PRESBYTERIANS OF NORTH CAROLINA. " The Presbyterians of the State Ask- to to Give $50,000 for the Equip ment of Their Orphanage at "Bar ium SpringsThe Institution's Needs. ' . -r' ' - A campaign has been begun 'among the Presbyterians of the state'td raise $50,000 for the equipment of the Presbyterian Orphans' Home at Bar ium Springs. As a result of a visit of- the members of the Synod to the Home more than a year ago. they were so thoroughly impressed with the needs of the institution that the board of regents of the Home was instructed to proceed with the work of raising the sum named. The re cents appointed a finance committee to take charge of the work shd the committee has secured the services of Rev. R. -Murphy Williams of Greensboro to present this cause to the churches; and for the informa tion of the Presbyterians of the state, and any others who may be interest ed. The Landmark presents herewith e needs of the institution in the after of equipment. They are: (1) Barns for cattle and horses; (2) storage buildings; (3) modern school building; (4) a thoroughly equipped infirmary; (5) enlarged in dustrial building; (6) central heating plant; (7) repairs on buildings; (8) purchase of adjacent lands and (9) enclosed lands for pasturage. 1. The present bam is a make shift, is not large enough, is in re pair and does not properly shelter the stock from the elements. The lack of better provision is actual cruel ty to animals besides the inconven ience and lack of room. A new barn in a better location, sufficient to ac commodate 50 cows and provide am ple storage room for provender, is an actual, urgent necessity. Some work has been done in this direction and the cow barn is nearing comple tion. Another barn for the horses should be in a different location, convenient to the lands used for farming and trucking. It should be large enough to properly house the stock, with storage room for feed and a shelter for farm implements. At present there is practically no provision for housing farm utensils. Carrying on the work of the farm and dairy is an important part of the work at the Home. The products of which are an important part of the maintenance of the Home and the work affords splendid training for the boys in the Home. Every up-to-date farmer and business man real izes the necessity of equipment for this work, for efficient equipment is necessary to best results and in an enterprise of this kind it is simply, a matter of economy to provide equip ment to secure best results. A slip shod method as. a result of poor equipment is not only a waste, but it is a great injustice to the boys who are being trained in the Home. In undertaking the training of these children there is an obligation to give them the best possible training to equip them for the battle of life. If they never know anything but slipshod methods they leave the Home poorly equipped and handicapped in the race of life. It is a duty to see that they have a fair showing. 2. A storage building is needed for supplies raised on the farm. What profiteth it to be blessed with abun dant harvests and have no place to store and care for what is produced ? It is setting an example of criminal waste before the young people train ed in the Home to allow any part of what may be produced on the farm to go to waste for lack of storage room. It is an example of shif tless ness that may handicap some of them all their days; and as a matter of room, should be provided. 3. The rooms used for school pur poses are too small and overcrowded. The number of children has increased so that a modern school building is a necessity. The rooms now occupied for school purposes can "be put to other uses; and with the new school building should be a commodious au ditorium. Such a building would be a lasting memorial to some individ ual who would erect it. Home naturally come from homes. 4. A larger and better eqiupped infirmary is a pressing need. The two wards now provided are overtax ed in case of any epidemic among the children and wards should be provid ed for isolation. The inmates of the where there have been sickness and death. While care is exercised to disease; children suspected of having prevent the bringing in of disease proper care cannot be exercised un der present conditions. Children coming into the Home should be iso lated and their clothing disinfected to avoid the possibility of contagious contagious diseases should bev isola ted. Many of the children come form homes where tuberculosis has exist ed. In case such disease should develop there is now no place where the patient could be isolated and treated. The necessity for such is olation is apparent, since all medical authorities now agree that tubercu- losis is contagious rather than" her- ! moral, mental and physical training editory. j (by the "latter is meant trained to 5. The present industrial building j work), is full panoplied for life's bat is too small. Room is needed for ; tie; has a capital far greater than laundry, printing office and work-1 money can give, and the worth of such shop. "The Home has the necessary machinery to dress all the wood for a building but there is -not room for the machinery. A shoeshop should : be installed to make and repair shoes ' for the inmates of the Home, a profit able industry in which' the boys .could ' be -trained; " ' ,,;J The enlarged industrial building, like the barns -and the farm equip ment, would not only be a wise eco nomic! policy, to bring jnto. existence and 'develop profitable industries for the Home; but, as been said in the other case ft is a duty the institu tion owes .! the boys it undertakes to train, to givS them proper training so that when thrown on their own re sources, as -they are after - a period, they will be equiped. They cannot be properly trained unless the means is provided. The lack of a proper in dustrial building not only handicaps the business of the Home but is an there. 6. The buildings are now heated by stoves. A central heating plant to provide heat for all the buildings is not only necessary as an economic policy but as a matter of safety. To heat all the building from one plant would save labor and expense. But more important still, it would mini mize the danger from fire that is al ways present in buildings heated by stove. No matter how careful and watchful the superintendent and his aides, there are near 200 children in the Home and not all of them can be watched all the time. Those of us who have children know they are not as careful as adults; and however great the care, the -danger from fire from stoves and stove-flues is always imminent. A fire in one of the build ings at the Home might mean loss of life. In sucth case would not we who had failed to do all we could to avoid the -danger be morally responsible? The necessity for the. heating plant is pressing, 7. No matter how well constructed nor how carefully guarded, all build ings must be repaired in course of time. The buildings at Barium need repair, many of them entensive re pair. The longer this is neglected the more expensive the repair in the end, It is business and economy to make repairs promptly. 8. More land is needed. There are now 220 -acres but the institution is growing. The land should be bought now to provide against future needs Later it might be impossible to buy adjacent land. 9. An additional need for land is increased pasturage for cattle. A sufficient amount of land should be enclosed for pasture, for the cattle. That is a necessity for the herd of cattle. What Has Been Done? -A few years ago it was shown tha the support fund for the Home was not sufficient. When the Presbyte rians understood the situation at their Home they responded promptly and nobly. There is no complaint on that score now. The present need is equipment. The Home was estab lished; 23 years ago and in that time about $67,000 has been spent for per manent improvements, including the 220 acres of land, the 12 buildings and other equipment. About $23, 000 of this was given by seven indi viduals, leaving $44,000 given by all the other Presbyterians in the state, This is an average of about $2,000 a year for the period and this $2,000 divided among 400 Presbyterian churches in the state would make an average of less than $5 per year for equipment from each church during the life of the institution. While pro vision is being made for support, surely the cost of equipment has not been a burden. What Others are Doing. Comparisons may be odious but they are necessary sometimes to show us how far behind we are. The Chil dren's Home at Winston-Salem, the orphanage of the Western North Carolina Methodist conference, has been in existence about five years and at the close of this year it-will have spent, practically $100,000 for equip ments, about a third more than the Presbyterians spent in 23 years. Re cently two individuals, gave $10,000 each for building at this orphanage, The orphanage of the North Caro lina Methodist conference located at Raleigh, established long after the Home at Barium Springs, has spent $107,000 for equipment. The Baptist denomination, which surpasses all others in orphanage work, has spent on the Thomasville orphanage $159,975.33 for equipment. This includes 11 dormitories, school building, general dining room, print ing office, industrial building (in which they have woodworking ma chinery and shoe' shop), laundry build ing, general sewing room, a thorough ly equipped infirmary and the usual out buildings; a horse and cow barn, 450 acres of land, sewerage, water and lights. This does not include the re cent gift of the Kennedy farm in Le noir county, valued at $100,000, on 'which two dormitories are being built to cost $7,500 each. During its existence , the Barium Home has sent out 600 boys and girls who spent an average of four years each at the institution. The great majority of these have made splen did men and women. From their ranks have come ministers, doctors, teach ers, stenographers, mechanics, farm ers, home-makers. That is a splendid addition to citizenship. It is a work of which to be proud.' In addition to the mental and physicial training, the moral training is surpassed. There is no greater work for more impor tant work than the "training of chil dren. The child that is given proper can give, ana tne worm pi suco au ditions to the citizenship of the state cannot be estimated. It is not exag- ... it i j geration to say that our best trained citizenship today is the product of our orphanages. That is the work that is being done at Barium. But for" this work- at Barium and the other or phanages the children left homeless would be left not only to suffering and privation, but in the majority of cases probably would grow up un trained and fall into evil ways. There is no greater, nobler work, there is no greater claim on humanity and the church than this care of the or phan, and one who would do his duty. to humanity and to God cannot neg lect it. The need at the Barium Home has been pointed out. It is great and pressing. The Presbyterians of the state are abundantly able to give the money asked for-this equipment;and they should do it promptly. They will not only fail in jtheir duty to the children, to humanity and to God, but they will discredit themselves as a denomination if the need is not promptly met. Having engaged in this work they must meet its needs and do work of which they need not feel ashamed. If any who read this want to send euurcripuons aired, itev. w. x. wai ...J-!

Why has it lived and thrived and kept on doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more tolyand surely because of its sterling worth.
