:Yoii'knoir that one of the inter
Htidg tbiogi that Mr. Jefferson
aid in those early daye of eim-
pioity whioh marked, the begin
uing of our gOTernment was that
the beit government ooniitled in
M- little governing ai posiible .
And there ii still a lenee' in whioh
thai tVtrue. It is still intolerable
foir the government to interfere
with oar individual activities ex
oepl'wnen it is necessary to inter
felewith them in order to free
them. Bat I feel confident that
if Jefferson were liv:ng in onr day
he woo Id tee what we see : that
the indtvidnftl is caqght in a great
confuted nexus of all sorts of com
plicated circamitancas, and that
to? let hm" alone is to leave him
helpless as against the obstacles
wiib; whioh he baa to contend;
and that, therefoie, law in our
day must oome to the assistance
of the individual. It must come
to his assistsnoe to see that he
gets fair play; that is all, but
that is much. Without the watch
fill interference, the resolute in
terfsreno , of the government,
there can be no fair play between
individuals and such powerful
iustitntisoa as the trusts Free
dom today is something more than
being let alone. The programme
of a - government must in these
days be positive, not negative
' merely.
That ia the wealth of America
and if America discourages' the
, looality, the community r the self

id Wall street is no indication of
the wealth of the American people.
That indication can be found only
in the fertility of the American
mind and the .productivity of
Amerioan industry everywhere
throughout the United States. If
America were not rioh and fertil",
there would be no money in Wall
street. If Americans were not
vital and able to care for them
aelves, the great money exchanges
would break down. The welfare,
the very existence of the Nation,
rests at last upon the great mass
of the people, its prosperity de
pends at last upon the spirit in
which they go about their work in
their several communities through
oat the broad land. In propor
tion as her towns and her country
idea are happy and hopeful will
America realise the high ambi
tiens which have marked her in
tie eyes of all the world. The
welfare, the happiness, the energy
and the spirit of the men and
women who do the daily work in
oar mines and factories, on our
railroads, in our onions , and ports
of trade, on our farms and on the
aea, is the underlying necessity of
all prosperity. '' v There can be
nothing wholescme unless their
lift is wholesome ; there can be no
contentment unless they are con
tented. Their physioal welfare

A. D. WATTS IS COLLECTOR.
Till Pig Id tilt Pake Seen, to Hue Wig

Washington, June 27 Alston D
Watta, collector of internal reve
nue for the western district of
North Carolina, this is the new
title of the popular North Caro
linian who represents Iredell
County in the State Senate and
who lias been acting during this
session of Congress as clerk of the
Senate Finsnoe Committee, of
whhh Senator Simmons is chair
man . He was nominated and
confirmed today.
The nomination of Watts was
sent to the Senate this afternoon
and, oontrary to the usual custom
of the Senate, was confirmed a few
minutes later. When the news
was telegraphed him ' at the Fi
nanoe Committee room. Mr.
Watts was incredulous, as the
nomination had not come in with
the first batch of names reoeived
this morning from the White
Housed but came later.
When asked what he had to say,
Mr. Watts replied: "I have no
hard feelings against anybody and
am very grateful to my friends.'
Sinoe the recommendation of
Watts was made by Seator Over
man and concurred in by Sentor
Simmons a vigorous and relentless
effort has been made to block his
nomination . It was reported that
E. J. Justice, who is considering
entering the oootest for the United
States Senate against Senator
Overman, led this fight. Colonel
Watts was charged with being a
reactionary and with having de-
feated progressive measures in the
State Legislature.
Another effort to. block him
hinged :on 31 ie -having; . opposed
pTresiSenVlrtro
vention cajnpsign.JThd enemies
6f Mr.. Watt 1 intimated that the
recommendation of the twoNor)l
CaroilnlSnadrs wrdWigtiior'
fd and that President Wilson
would consult with a meml er of
his Cabinet about the distribution I
of patronage in the State.
Frequently in these dispatches
your correspondent has cited inci
dents whioh showed that President
Wilson would follow the advice of
the two Senators, and strongly in
timated that Colonel Watts would
ultimately be named. Today the
President finally reached the case
and justified these predictions.
Mr. Watts announoes that he
will immediately resign from the
State Legislature. In the event
the Legislature is called in extra
session, a new. election will have
to be called to fill the vacanoy.
Should there be no extra session
this will not be necessary, aa he
has already served through the-
regular term.

The editor is indebted to his
friend B. P. Elliott, one of Frank

enterprising farmers and one of
the best oitizms in the county,
for some fine onions, whioh he
brought him Saturday. They are
of the Yellow Danvers and Red
Globe variety, and are big ones
and strong ones, something to
make a fellow set up and take no
tice. Brother Elliot is one of the
folk who remembers his friends
and he will be long remembered
by scores of people who have the
pleasure of knowing him. Such
volunteer tokens of goodwill are
duly appreciated .

$15 and costs for assaulting 8. A.
Campbell, a telegraph operator at
the Southern depot. Sunday night,
following Shemwell's demand for
a ticket to Asheville on Southern
train No. 85.
There were two warrants against
Shemwell this morning, one
charging him with carrying a oon-
oealed weapon and the other
oharging him with an affray with
Campbell. Campbell was the only
witness in the deadly weapon case,
he declaring that he saw the pistol
when Shemwell came under the
railing and into the inner office .
Judge Oritoher thought that there
was some doubt about it and pro
nounoed Shemwell not guiltly. In
the affray ease .Shemwell was
found j guilty and fined $15 and
costs, while Campbell was found
not guilty.

A wealthy man died in Brus
sels, leaving nearly afl of his
fortune to a young woman who
was entirely unacquainted with
him.
He was a very eooentrio man
and set out, like Diogenes, in
search of an honest man. His
'tab" was an omnibus, and his
lantern a small coin. In the om
nibus he took his seat near the
conductor, and always showed
himself very obliging, passing up
the money of passengers and re
turning the change, but to the

pockets. No one thought of the
poor oonduotor, whose meager
salary of three franos a day could
ill spare suoh a loss.
But at last a young woman past
ed hers bask with : - '
''Conduotor, you have given me
half a frano too much."
"Diogenes," delighted, follow
ed her home, made inquiries, and
as the answers were satisfactory
made his will in her favor, though
he never gave her warning that
her half-frano was going to bring
her a million.
Dnlels si Hi Rid Flic
The flag that symbolizes no
feeling of loyalty, no love ot coun
try, no call for peace and order,
but whioh is unfurled in token of
antsgonism to our guiding princi
ples, has no place on our free soil,
as Secretary Daniels ringingly de
clares. America is still the refuge
of the oppressed, but the grant of
asylum does not give immunity to
hostile demonstrations by an or
ganised conspiracy bent On over
throwing the government and the
flag under whose protecting folds
they were privileged to foregather.
If we find that we have taken a
a reptile into our bosom, a sense
of danger should prompt us to
oast it out. The Washington
Post.
This applies equally well to Ro-
manists and others out of harmo
ny with our institutions.

NE6R0 ATTEKPTS HOUSE BREAKIH8.
ChlDi Grcre Awakened Uaseisooablf and
Catches Nigbt Prowler.
Sunday night between 1 and 2
o'clock Harrison H. Peacock was
awakened by a noise at one of his
windows,. On investigation he
found that some one had pried off
the window strips and was remov
ing the sash when, he was soared
away. The neighbors were awak
ened and a search begun. It was
found that the marauder had gone
toward Salisbury, but later was
seen going south on Main street.
When told to halt he refused to
do so and was fired at with a shot
gun by 8. G. Setzer. The tele
phone office being near, the oper
ator got busy and called up the
people to be on the lookout on
South Main street.
John T. Deal, a mail carrier,
armed with a shotgun, stepped out
juit as the supposed thief was
passing. He was told to 'Halt
again but failed to do so until he
could dodge behind a telephone
pole. There he reached for bis
hip pocket. About this time J. R.
Brown, the jeweler, having heard
Mr. Deal calling, rushed on the
soene with a large Swiss rifle. The
noise of the clicking of this was
too muoh for the man and he sur
rendered. Deputy Sheriff Kim
ball then plaoed him under arrest.
On searching him nothing was
found in the way of a weapon but
a razor. He was taken to Salis
bury and jailed to await trial.
Later Mr, Peaoock found that
some one had entered his kitchen
and dining room and appropriated
everything eatable. The presump
tion is that the same man, finding
the door from the dining room to
the house locked, went out and
borrowed John Cooper's axe and
tried to prize open the window.
Burned matches on the floor cor
responded with those found on hja.
person.
The man was a Negro, gave
Greensboro as his home and his
name as Henry Everette.
Roy Kimball fired at what he
supposed to be a thief during the
period of exoitement, and several
coats were taken from the poroh
of Luther Phillips. Two of these
coats were recovered and Everette
'was wearing one whnh Mr. Phil
lips didn't care for.
The preliminary trial of Ever
ette took place in the Rowan
County Court yesterday morning
before Judge Ktuttz. There were
three oounts against him, one for
house breaking, one for larceny
and cne for carrying a razor. Af
ter hearing the evidence Judge
Kluttz deoided there was no evi
dence to indicate house breaking,
suspended judgment as to carrying
a weapon and sentenced him to
six months on the roads for lar
ceny. Among the China Grove wit
nesses present at the trial were
the following: Luther, Charles
and William Phillips; the town
constable, J. H. Black welder; 8

If other towns in North Carolina
were doing as much building in J
proportion to size and population
as China Grove this year would
go down in history as the era of
oonstruotion.
The walls- of the Lillian Knit
ting Mill are now rising rapidly
and the major portion of material,
such as window sills, sash and
door frames are ready for placing.
Contractor Casper has a strong
force and is now making all the
progress possible as the weather
permits.
A force was put to work yester
day digging the foundation for the
new brick building to be ereoted
for the Bank of China Grove.

lumber, brick, sand and other

Too Bible li loo Public Schools.
Says the Presbyterian Standard,
the official organ of the Presby
terian ohuroh in North Carolina :
- "A few years ago it looked as if
the Bible would be banished from
the pnblio sohools of every State,
and that the children .of the land
would grow up in ignorance of
this, the greatest of books Re
cently, however, the tide seems
to have turned. Enoouraged by
the success with whioh Australia
haa dealt with the question, dif
ferent States are now trying the
same or a similar plan Penn
sylvania has, just secured a law
that provides that the teacher
shall read or cause t be read
without comment at least ten
verses from the Scriptures at
every session of schooL Though
this i not wha, ;. wjl, wojakl 4ike
yes it is a great, advance over
some States, and it should result
in good."
The committee on constitution
al amendments in session now at
Morehead City has gone on record
as favoring that amendment .giv
ing the publio schools the right
co read the Bible. This, we are
sure, will ndeet with the com
mendation and support of all
good men and women in North
Carolina. The Bible is the book
of all books and woe unto this
country when it shall be relegated
to the abelf . Gastonia Gazette.
It is strange that in this age of
enlightenment an yone can be
found who would object to the
mere reading of the Bible in a
sohool. Yet suoh exist and the
greatest enemy the Bible and the
sohools have comes from' the so
called only true "church." There
are two ways to bring about the
destruction of the publio sohool
which this "ohuroh" is attempt
ing: kill it completely, or get
charge of it and oontrol it.
