Right Living.
A person who will not pay his
grocery bill or any other account,
though he attend church regularly
and sing with the lungs of an arch
angel, cannot have more religion
than an infidel Turk. Persons
who expect to pass entirely through
life by beating merchants out of
iheir due, will have a rocky sailing
once they shuffle oft' this mortal
coil. Honesty is not only the right
policy, but it is the basis of right
living. Hickory Record.
Commenting on the foregoing
the Statesville Landmark adds :
The deadbeai the individual
who constantly and wilfully and
negligently fails and refuses to pay
his debts, is simply a thief. His
offense isn't so defined in the stat
ute books, but morally it is just
that. The Lankmark has more
respect for a thief who pilfers
when your back is turned than the
scoundrel who takes your goods
before your face, through decep
tion and Fraud. The thief who
pilfers while your back is turned
doesn't deceive you, he doesn't
pretend that he will make good.
The other thief is not only a rob
ber but a liar. He is morally just
as much a thief as the other and
he adds to that additional offense
by lying and deceiving and caus
ing one to lose confidence in his
fellows. If we'd quit apologizing
for the deadbeat, call them by their
right names and treat them as we
do the other kind, the number
would be less. Instead it is con
stantly increased by the kind con
sideration accorded to them.

us dare to do our duty as we un
derstand it.1' Abraham Lincoln.

As we stated some time ago Mr. W. M. Cohen sold out his business
as a druggist to Mr. L. W . Murphrey and we have wanted to give a
more lengthy sketch of his business career among us, but have been
prevented until the present.
WILLIAM MERCER COHEN was born in Enfield, N. C, in the
year 1867. Afier proper preparation in his home schools he entered
the Maryland College of Pharmacy, in Baltimore, from which place he
graduated in 1889. In April of that year he came to Weldon, bought
the drug business operated by Dr. 1. E. Green and immediately begun
plans for its enlargement and improvement. Public spirited and en
thusiastic, he believed in progression and entered fully into the affairs
of our town and community and worked to promote improvements of
every kind. For twenty years he was Town Treasurer and held this
important position to the satisfaction of all concerned. Perhaps no
man who has lived among us has done more to relieve distress and
pain than he in filling prescriptions and furnishing medicine to all alike,
whether they had money to pay or not. In this way Cohen's Drug
Siore became the haven of those seeking relief of any kind. Kind
hearted, polite, and sympathetic. The needy never called in vain.
He was married in Januaty, 1907, to Miss Willie Hall Green, who
has entered into his plans and purposes as a true wife should. Find
ing it to his advantage to do so he sold out his complete siock, good
will and all interests in January hist to Mr. L. W. Murphrey, who had
so long had charge of the Pharnuceuiical department of the business
and will continue it on the same hher.il and philanthropic plans estab
lished by Mr. Cohen.
As Mr. Cohen is still a young man, we wish for him many more
years among us, and trust he will find it to his interest and pleasure to
let Weldon and her people have first place in whatever he may do or
undertake, assuring him of our appreciation and interest in him and
his.
FLOWERS AND CHEER.
Love (or Flowers Is Sunshine In
the Soul. ,
Did you ever stop to observe
how the beauty and brightness of
flowers is lent to the Faces of per
sons who lovingly care for them?
There is a certain relation between
the flowers that grow in your gar
den, and your own spirits. And,
whether consciously or not you
are affected in no small degree by
the b ossoms and their state of
prosperity. If the flowers come
bravely and bloom as they should,
vou are correspondingly elated.
The sight of them tranquilizes the
nerves. The odor soothes the
temper. The very presence of the
cheerful, growing things make you
content with the earth and your lot
upon it.
Have you not among your nc
quaintances some kind soul who
revels in her garden or in ihe pots
in her window ? in the winter
her windows stare bleak and bare
in the sullen street. In the sum
mer it is twice as gay, and the wo
man who lends the garden spot is
perpetually hoveling over the sweet
beds.
Did you ever know such a wo
man to he peevish, pessimistic or
anvihiiiir but busy and contented
with lile? She herself is a bright
flower, casting beauty and cheer
into the world. The secret lies in
the fact lhat we get out of life only
what we put into it. VX e'w
only as we give. Love for Ho v
ers is sunshine in the soul.

Uoan s Kidney Pills have given
great satisfaction in such cases.
w eldon citizens testily to this.
Here is a case of it:
E. D. Purnell, printer, Wash
ington Avenue, Weldon, says: "I
had a dull pain across my back
and at tunes 1 was so sore and
lame I couldn't stoop or bend.
The trouble was caused by a strain,
which left my kidneys weak. The
least cold settled on my kidneys
and made my condition worse.
Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieved
me, putting my back and kidneys
in good condnion."

In a recent address President
Wilson said: "The only men who
serve the world now are young
men, and men who never grow
old; men in whose systems ihe
steam goes strong all the lime, and
who do not get so stiff lhat their
whole machinery buckles up."
This is the age of youih. There
is constant talk of the "dead line."
Sometimes it is put as low as foriy.
More and more, however, ihere
is a tendency to recognize the im
portant fact that the dead line may
be passed by a youth of twenty,
and not by an old man of seventy.
Indeed, many a veteran of three
score and ten is younger for all
essential purposes than the aver
age young man who has just attain
ed his majority.
Forward, Youth 1 Youth with
its enthusiasms, youth, with ils op-
umisms, youm wnn its good cneer,
youth with its buoyancy and vigor!
The world can never have too
much of it.
And as we grow older we mav
have more of it, rather than less, if
we will ever morei enthusiasm,
optimism, good cheer buoyancy
ana vigor, courage should grow
with the experience of God's help
fulness. Zeal should deepen with
the deeper knowledge of God's
purposes. Love for all men, and
peace and joy, should increase
with increasing communion with
the love of God.
Then forward. Age. Age that
tempers youth, but does not de
stroy it. Age that ripens youth,
but does not dry it up. Age that
merely carries youth along to lofti
er ideas and wider views. For
the right kind of old age is only
the happy youth of eurnity. Ex
