There is a better thing: than the ob
servation of Christmas day, and that
la "keeping" Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people and to re-
hat other ueople have done
for you; to Ignore what the world
owes you and to think what you owe
the world; to put your rights In the
background and yoar duties in the
middle distance and your chances to
do a I'ttle more than your duty in
the foreground; to see that your fel
lowmen are Just ns real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces to
their hearts, hungry for joy; to own
that probably the only good reason
for your existence is not what you are
going to get out of life, but what you
are olng to give to life; to close your
book of complaints aeainst the man
agement of th2 universe and look
around you for a place where you j
can sow a few seeds or naopiness ,
lire yon will ng to do these things even
for a day 7
The you can keep Chr'stmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires
of little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of peonle who
are growing old; to stop asking hojw
much -your friends love you' and ak
. yourself whether 'you love them
enough: to bear In mind the thing
that other people have to bear on
'their hearts: to try to understand what
those who live In the same house wih
you really want, without wa'tlng for
them -to tell you; to trim your lamp
', ,bo that it will give more light and less
i smoke, and to carry It in front so that
your shadow will fall behind you: to
'make a grave for your uglv thoughts
and a garden tor your, kindly felnTS.
with the gate open are you willing
' to do these things even for a day?

And, if you can keep it for a day,
why not always? But you 'can never

THE SIIEMWELL REPRIEVE.
1 1
The sentiment of the Dress Is almost
jnanjmous that Shemwell ought not to
have been reprieved and that Governor
Kitchin was Imposed upon when he
rave the reprieve. The WlnstoiySa
em Sentinel Bays:
"The Sentinel trusts Governor
Cltchin will Investigate this matter
Thoroughly and give the public av full
i tatement concerning; the affair. The
ublic should know all the facts in
connection with this case, because
ilhemwell has money and friends and
there is a feeling prevalent thatit Is
time this man was being made to)un
fierstand that he lives in a land whose
law is no respecter of persons."
Shemwell was reprieved because he
ras under treatment at Hot Springs,
fo Governor Kitchin said in giving his
rpasons for executive mercy. Ifow
that he is at home, looking as well a
ever, the reprieve ought to be annulled
and Shemwell made to serve his sen
tence like other folks who vlolatethe
Uw. The High Point Enterprise says:
"The Greensboro Record says that
the day after Baxter Shemwell was re
r rleved and was supposed to be In a
hbi-pital at Hot Springs, Arkansas, he
as seen on the streets of Lexlnf-n.
Ve dare b:iv that 0(ivrnnr Kltrhlrvdid
hot' know Shemwell was in the state
hd walklne about with his rheuma
tlsm when the reprieve was granted."
Exactly so. The Governor thought
he was at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Now
he has knowledge that he is in North
Carolina, and apparently as well as
when he assaulted the conductor. The
reprieve should be cancelled. v
The Charlotte Observer takes the
ground that Shemwell's bond belnr
forfeited, he Is really a fugitive from
stlce and may be arrested. In an
ekitorJai yesterday It said
"We find it surprising that Gowr-
nor Kitchin should place any great
reliance upon doctors' certificates 1n
a rase lik Paxter Shemwell's. The de
fendant had already forfeited his ap
pearance bond without excuse mad
and had shown every disposition i to
evade the operation of the Jail sen
tence. Thepe circumstances, together
-with his known and admitted char
acter, constituted strong grounds for
suspicion. And what wee the certifi
cates which he offered? They related
solely to an ailment which any nyin
can feign at need. He could easily
m ike himself appear to be in the ut
most tortures of rheumatism If 'he
wrre so inclined and he most as
suredly was Many doctors are exces
sively indulsrent in certifying a pa
tient's condition according to his de
si? es; they can never let him roto
'ail for lack of an affidavit or, go
rsty for lack of a presciptionbut
flhemwell's doctors were probably In
th position of really knowing no
more about the alleged rheumatism
thin the Governor does himself.
The Greensboro Record of yester
d ir says It has the Information $n
wt at appears to be good a'itho-ky
thut Rbemwell was on the streets if
Pa lbury and of Lexington last Sat
urday 'in apparent good health, hale
an 3 hearty.'
"Observer readers remember that
Governor Kitchin oniv a few day
ago about the time Shemwell .Is r
po te1 to have" been seen In towns
In this State In apparent good health.
bl and hearty granted this man a
respite.
"The question arises whether or not
the Governor can cancel a reprieve
one granted. Tt Is one of the Gover
nor'n prerotntlvea to grant a Jcondl
Mc;ia! pardon, revocable on the beak
fTff of the conditions, but can he re
call a non-conditional f pardon or a
reprieve? ' 'V
Another view of the cose: The Gov
ernor's renrleve cannot have any ef
u on the one or. It may be. two.
"Ptearan 'bonds which Shemwell
ba forfeited. He can be arrested on
capias from GuHfo-d Superior Court
w rever found In the State on these
for!ed recognizances or bonda; for?
notW'thrtandins; the Governor's ac-i
tive from justice because of his for
feited bonds."
The Greensboro Telegram has this
editorial reference: k
"There Is doubt as to whether Bax
ter Phemwell is really sick enoueh to
ust Ify the action taken by the GovV
ernrr In reprieving him. If he claims
to be s'ck ril lt. the Govemdf
would ba Justified In having him ex
amined at the State's expense. The
sentiment of the people, so far as wej.
can 'tiflpe from litorii onlnlon. is
that Mr. Shemwell should receive the
punishment that the court meted out
to him."
The Durham Herald has this illu-M
mlnatlng paragraph: , ,
The- fact that Mr Baxter Shem
well was back in his home town ap
parently well and hearty, the day af-L
ter l e was reprieved by the Governory
would seem to Indicate that the wholes
thinir was what lots of us thought
It was' : '
The Winston-Salem Journal asks,
"Where is Shemwell?" and says: ;
The News and Observer learns that
Paxter Shemwell, who 'got his man
and who was later got by Judge Long
in Guilford Superior Court for essayv
Ing to gef another man. is now in?
North Carolina - or has been In thai
iJgtatei since he was granted a reprieve7
Wntll April 1st. by Governor Kitchin.
We Want It understood that we are
not criticising Governor Kitchin for
reprieving Shemwell in view of the
representations made to him. for anjr
iiiiii.'biio iima wuum .nave none lixe-
wlsea but we would like to know If
thrB-
ernor.
we do not believe that Baxter
Shemwell would bes'tate about a
think of that kind; Indeed It has been
his ambition to violate and evade the
law for many years, and this evasion
or justice, ir.it so proves, win be anw
nttiew star In h( crnum nf v(1a I U
'Tl-e News and Observer, which IsH
usually on the side of law and order.
Is to be commended for gathering all
the facts it can to be presented to the
Governor and the people of the State. A
We feel sure that Governor Kitchin
will appreciate any efforts to clear up
anything that savors of mystery."
Talking about newspapers andHents." The fond papas have beei
Christmas editions, there is nothing1
the matter with the Maxton Scottish
Chlel. It was not only up to the
mark but was printed most beautifully
on elegant book paper and handsome
ly Ml jstrated. It was full of .original
and timely contributions and a credit
to thitdwn and county. Editor Har
ker is making It every week one of
the best weeklies In North Carolina.
More unusual things happen In
Chatham than anywhere else in North
Carol na. Here is the latest, as told
by the Chatham Record: "Quite a
strange case was tried before a mag
istrate in this county a few days ago.
It was an action of summary eject
ment brought by a mother against her
son, who with his family, had made
their home at her. house and . would not
leave when requtsted by ma
THE WAY TO DO IT.
Good for the Seaboard Air Line and
Southern' Yesterday, seeing that their
regular train between Hamlet and
Portsmouth would be delayed, they
ran a special train through from Ham
let to Portsmouth so as to accommo
date the large travel and not com
pel everybody to wait long hours at
depots. The Southern Railway yes
terday ran two sections of the west
bound passenger train from Goldsboro
to Greensboro to accommodate the
Christmas travelers.
The interviews printed yesterday j
from Seaboard and Southern Railway I
officials show that both these sys- J
terns are trying more than ever before j
to give the public better accommoda- !
tions durinr the Christmas season. I
And, while there have been delays,!
they are not nearly so long and so ;
annoying. There has been much Im
provement as the statements printed
show.
The people do not make unreason
able demands. They know that the
big express makes it difficult for rail
roads to maintain schedules, and when
the delay does not exceed half an hout
they do not criticize, but they have a
right to raise a-row when, as In some
years, Christmas travelers were com
pelled to wait hours to reach their
destination. If the ra.lroads will pro
vide plenty of cars, run their trains
as nearly as possible on time, and put
on special trains when their trains arc j
unreasonably delayed, the public will ;
meet them half way. j
THE GENTLE ART OF HAZING.
Just on the eve of the Christmas
holidays, the gentle art of hazlnf,
seems to have broken out afresh. Nino
boys are under suspension at Rich
mond College because a student was
made "to root a penny out of a bas.n
of water during which time a paddle
was applied to hin by a fellow stu
dent." The Richmond News-Leader
says :
"Since the declaration on the part
of the faculty punishing the students
the body have arisen and declare thej
will burn In effigy the boy who gave
away the prank. Smith, the boy who
was hazed, leads a petition that the
punishment be removed and declares
that he did not object to the haz ng,
having attended a military school
previously where he made 'rats' obey
him as he was made to obey."
The gentle art of hazing and the
refined art of burning In effigy seem to
old-fashioned parents not to be in
keeping with the study of the classics
and the high Ideals they had set up for
college students.
At Trinity College several students
were expelled for "snatching' and
compelling a freshman to get Into a
freezing tub of water and make an
Indecent exposure of himself. Th
sentiment of that college Is to break
up such practices if half the student
should quit. In that determination
they have the approval of many par
ents. ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S SUGGESTION.
The University of Copenhagen de
cides that Dr. Cook's evidence does
not prove that he reached the North
Pole. The men who composed that
tribunal believed Dr. Cook when, upon
reaching that country, he claimed to
have' reached the long-sought goaL
The fact that their decision was
against their 2rst impression did not
cause them to accept any statement
from Dr. Cook that would not meet
the scientific test, and the world hon
ors them because they stood for the
truth and nothing but the truth. Some
of them privately spoke harshly of
Dr. Cook but the committee simply
declare! that the so-called proofs pre
sented did not show that' Dr. Cook had
reached the North Pole. The world
accepts that tribunal's decision.
Did Peary reach the North Pole?
That is a question that should be set
tled beyond controversy. After the
American Geographical Society has
completed its examination and passed
upon Peary's proof and observations
and reckonings they should be placed
before the University of Copenhagen
and the scientific men of the world al
lowed to say whether they furnish
proof of Peary's claim. Admiral
Schley's suggestion is a good one.
One year ago Mr. James A. Parham
resigned his position on the News and
Observer staff to Join , Mr. John A.
Oates In establishing the Fayetteville
Index. It has had marked success. Mr.
Parham now becomes sole edlt6r and.
owner. He Is a Journalist who has
convictions of the right kind and has
the courage of his convictions. He
will succeed and deserves to succeed
in the largest measure.
The Salisbury Post quotes this pa-
edltor,al on K0,ng after the men
higher up" In the sugar trust scandal
and says: "Exactly so. The conviction
and Imprisonment of a few clerks will
not satisfy Justice, for It is Certain that
these subordinates were not acting
upon their own Initiative. The steal
ings should be probed until those pri
marily responsible are brought to Jus
tice." President Kllgo told the students at
Trinity that "twenty-five per cent of
the students of the country are unfit
to be in the colleges largely on account
of the immoral Indulgences of par-
thinking the boys were worse than
their sires. Dr. Kllgo tells them that
the sins of the sons come from the
fathers. That's Bible doctrine.
One of the best-tested Christmas
sentiments comes from Thackeray's
liJThe End of the Play":
"I wish you health, and love, and
mirth.
As fits the solemn Christmastide,
As fits the holy Christmas birth.
Be this, good friends, our carol still.
Be peace on earth, be peace on earth,
L To men of gentle will."
I At New Bern, as usual, the people
of that place have the best things to
eat, from sea and land. In addition to
(be outer luxuries, me journal says
the people will' luxuriate this Christ
mas on hickory shad. "They brought
a handsome price," but they were
worth it.
THE RESULT OF DRINKING.
No man ever becomes a drunkard
or undermines his constitution by tak
ing his first drink. It is an evil that
comes often to the most hospitable
and liberal of men who learn to drink
from their sociable disposit on. "At
the last It biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder."
There are many good men who have
associated Christmas cheer with intox
icants and feel that they cannot cele
brate Christmas properly without a
social glass. Many of them are never
hurt by this custom, but how many
homes have wholly escaped the sor
row that has come because one of the
family could not stop with the social
-lass? That reflection should cause ,
pause to those who are preparing for
the Christmas toddy. In thl3 Christ
maa season it is well to read and re-
read these two items headed "making !
the connection" in a recent issue of i
the Youth's Companion: j
' An enterpris ng Scotch liquor deal- I
er offered a prize for the be-t answer
to a conundrum. 'Why is my whisky ;
like the bridge of Ayr?" A boy sent in, ;
Because It leads to the poorhouse.' '
and the unprejudiced umpires gave ;
him the prize. With even readier wit j
a Yankee saw the connection in a kin- ,
dred case.
"At a certain railway station an J
anxious man came to the door of the j
baggage car and said. 'Is there any- j
thing for me?' j
"After some search among the boxes
and trunks the bagg'gemaster drag- j
ged out a demi'ohn of whisky. M
" 'Anythinr more?' asked the man. .
" 'Yes, said the baggageman; 'here j
Is a gravestone. There's no nime on 1
it, but it ought to go with that
liquor.' " )
GOOD CHRISTMAS PRESENT. j
Are you casting about in your mind
for a good Christmas present for some
one to whom you do not vi?h to send
a card or a toy, desiring to send some
thing that will really add to their
pleasure every day for a year? We
venture to make a suggestion, not orig
inal, by stating what four wise peo
ple have done In the last few days:
1. The w'!fe of a Methodist preach
er who lives on a circuit has given
her husband a subscription to the daily
News and Oliserver for a year.
2. A prominent Durham lawyer has
sent the daily to his sister for a year
this being a Christmas present he ha
been giving her for several years. Sh
eays It is the best present she gets.
3. A Rale'gh banker sends Its dally
visits to a daughter who lives in a
distant State.
4. A lady in Raleigh sends it to two
married daughters, living In distant
States.
If YOU will send that present to
some relative or friend. It will glad
den their heart every day for a whole
year. Most other presents give pleas
ure only for a few days.
DR. IVEVS NEW BOOK.
Prom time to tim during the' pa3t
six years there has appeared in the
Raleigh Christian Advocate a series of
letters signed "Elldad Akers." This
hard-headed pious countryman has
put aa much Quaint wisdom and phil
osophy and religion In broken English
as Bill Arp put Into his charming
writings that made him famous.
Dr. Ivey is regarded as a seriou
minded theologian and he revelatlor
of his sense of humor and qualntnes:
Is seen on every page of the book. It
Is written primarily for church-goers
and every chapter has a sound moral,
but It Is more than that and Is a story
of the opinions of a wise old country
church member who makes religion
something more than theology. Ht
vitalizes the creeds and forms, and
every church member w!H find It pro
fitable. The price of the book la one
dollar. It should hiv a wide sale.
The New York papers think that
Dr. Cook's lectures and articles netteC
him over $100,000. The Herald paid
him $28,000 for his story and It sold
rights to publish to many papers. It
Is believed he Teceived $80,000 from
his lectures, St. Louis paying him $14,
000 for two lectures.
New York la troubled to know how
it can withdraw "the freedom of Uk
city" from Dr. Cook.
This Is a strange world. A woman
In Atlanta obtained a divorce because
her husband would not take a bath
oftener than once In four months. In
Milwaukee a man filed application be
cause his wife would never take a
bath unless he forced her to do so. Ib
cleanliness next to Godliness?
The year 1910 promises to be a big
year for North Carolina, The report
is that the Dukes and allied interests
will build twenty-one new cotton mills
along the new power plant generated
from the water powers of Piedmont
North Carolina. Let the work of In
dustry go forward!
The Betr Giving.
(Indianapolis News.)
The Holy Supper Is kept, indeed.
In whatso we share with another's
need
Not what we give, but what we share.
For the lft without the giver Is bare.
It is well to ' ponder these words at
times and especially in this gift-giving
period, not only with reference to our
immediate family and friends but In
respect to our relations with the com
munity of which we are a part. All
kinds of --encies churches, clubs, as
sociaitons, charities, benevolence are
necessary! to hold the attainment al
ready made and ever so little to ed?e
forward. What are you giving In per
sonal effort to any of these agencies?
We are not suggesting contr.butlons.
The easiest thing that !a rich or well-to-do
man can give 11 money. T?ut In
this contemplation "money is dross."
Take, for example, the Commercial
Club, which is busying itself with ac
tivities to advance the city. How
many are there who profit by its labors
that never lift a linger to help them
on?
The suggestion is not meant to be
particularly specific, but general. Men
are prone to take their case after they
have accumulated wherewithal to do
so. to become selfish or Indifferent.
They do not lend a hand: often do not
give a cent, though oftener men give
to "get rid of the thing." But the point
we dwell on Is that t is not their sub
stance that they should give, but them,
selves. They are profiting in every
way; by the labor and sacrifice of all
forts of associations and societies.

from the combined extort society gets
better and goes forward.
A good question for a man to ask
himself at this time of the year Is th s:
"Are vou doing any of this; have you
any part or lot in the matter?" Sup
pose, for example, this public club or
that charity could have twice Its pres
ent membership even If the second
half did nothing but pay Its dues Is
not It apparent what increased efforts
either could put forth for the public
rood? And the men and women that
are now active in the work are no bet-
am a w a .Wan t V. r-t a w V mtmrtA
Tapart and reap benefit from their la
bors in the Increased general or special
good. They are Just average. And
It is no easier for them to be in at
tendance or to give of their means
and their effort than it is for any one
else. They simply make a sacrifice
where others fail or refuse to do so.
Seriously, do not we all all for
whom the making of a living Is not an
absorbing struggle -owe something to
the community life. Can we shirk the
duty and not suffer ourselves In char
acter? And can this duty be entirely
discharged by glvlnr money? Ths
may "talk" for the giver on occasion,
rut we should all of us have some
thing to which we give ourselves. We
are not put here to make our own way
regardless of everything else. Life
has a larger claim than that. The
thought Is worth the time as well as
worth giving the time. No person
could make so valuable a gift as him
self to something: to resolve to help
on this or that cause that in som
shape makes for the general good. The
self sh- sluggish tendency is to say:
"Oh, It will get done; it always does
somehow; let so-and-so do It; he likes
It" Now when It comes to that, no
body likes It. Nobody, for example,
likes to go to another and ask blm to
eive money to a good cause or to be
come a member of this or that as.ocia
t'on. It Is simply a sheer sense of
duty. And but for this we should not
get forward, but fall back.
We urge the selfish and indifferent
to yield to the spirit of the blessed
Christmastide for their own . sake
most of all and resolve to give some
of their time and energy toward help
in? the "eneral effort which in multi
farious ways makes up the real ac
tivity of every community and which
Is concerning Itself with something
more than the supply of necessity's de
mands. FOR NEW DORMITORY.
