Keep for others your silken leisure. Drowsy days in the shade or sur; I was never one to treasure Rest till my work was done. Acquiiiited This editorial to iddr^esed to the mem- bew of the Granire in North,|3^1ina be- |si cause copies of this newspaper are betog m^ed to every Granire unit. The North Carolina State Grsgge meets in convention in North Wilkerfioro Wed- nesdai^ Thursday Fri^y, Septem^r 25, 26 and 27. This to a ^rdial invitation to every manbfe^of th^Orange in the state who possibly can to attend the cwi- vention and spend thr^ days :srith^ the petite of North WiDcesboro’and Wilkes county, where the firat Pomona Grange in North Carolina was formed. ,, We havo a high regard for the Grange because it to made up of many of the state’s best, and most stable citizens. For patriotism, l^ership and character, the better class of rural people are hard to excel and we shall welcome you in our midst. Come to North Wilkesboro for the con vention and make yourselves at home in our city and county. We shall endeavtr to entertain you, not in a hypocritical manner for monetary gain, but with a true sense of southern hospitality. No, for sloth is worst of sinning; Give m® the joy and zest of the fray, Pindlng my true reward in the winning. Not in the prise or pay. And, if victory be denied me, 1 shall not shrink from another test, Nor care at all it the fools deride me, Knowing I did my best. Somewhere still there are roads uncharted; Somewhere still is an unfound Grail; Let me go onward, valiant hearted. To the end of the last, long trail. Give me always a goal to try for; Let me go onward, valiant hearted, Give me. a dream to fight and die for And I shall be content! —Ted Olson. Col. Wade Harris In the death of Col. Wade Harris, vet eran editor of the Charlotte Observer, Wilkes county and all western North Caro lina lost a true friend and patriot. Although he edited a metropolitan daily almost 100 miles from North Wiliiesboro he was greatly interested in Wilkes county and following the trips he made through this section he always had constructive and favorable comment to make in the splendid paper he edited. Those in this part of the state who wei'C fortunate enough to know him personally feel deep ly a sense of personal loss in that a friend ha.s passed and those who knew him only by his works, too, will realize that a good man has passed to his reward. Col. Harris was deeply interested in highways, especially in western North Carolina, and it is vei-y fitting that the majestic ravine bridge on the Boone Trail in the western part of Wilkes county bears his name. It stands as a monument to his foresight and to his interest in the Blue Ridge mountains as a scenic coun try. Why Be Blatant? It has been brought to our attention that some people have been grumbling be cause of so many noises in North Wilkes boro at night. With car horns tooting loudly at all hours, blatant voices unbe coming a civilized people, and other noises it is no wonder that even some overnight visitors find it hard to sleep. Far be it from us to say that North Wilkesboro is worse than other towns in this respect. We say they are all about alike, but that in this i-espect, it is just auother chance for North Wilkesboro to get ahead on another point. Here is what Arthur Brisbane says about noises in New York city and what the mayor is doing: ‘Mayor LaGuardia of New York is ar resting citizens for making a noise at night under the interesting theory that people are entitled to sleep during dark ness. He will even forbid loud speakers on ‘political trucks if they make too much noise at late hours, also yells and shouts, , aocompanying crap games. Why do crap ' shooters yell and shout while upper class ‘ gambling irfaces, the voice of destiny, at zpuge et noir, is languid, low, barely heard above the clicking of the ivory ball? If noises am be curbed in New York city, the pUuM we^have been given to un- denrtand wakas up after dark and b^ comes quiet at dawn, certainly it would be easy for aD of U8 to be ^et in a city :; «f less tbanlS^pOO "^^^^ The Tax Tangle The subject of taxation is uppermost in the minds of all who have anything that can be taxed. It will inevitably be come an even more absorbing subject of everyday discussion. We seldom find two persons in agree ment on this matter of taxation, except on one point. There is unanimous agree ment that something is wrong with our tax system, local, state and national. With that general agreement as a start ing point, it seems as if it ought to be possible to arrive somewhere, but in stead of getting better, the whole tax situation seems to ge worse. What is fundamentally wrong with it is, of course, politics. Our political sys tem is built on taxes. Parties are or ganized and maintained on the strength of public patronage—which is a polite way of saying, jobs for tax-eaters. The more jobs, the stronger the party or ganization. Nobody knows how much of our tax burden is due to conniving politicians seeking to intrench themselves in office, but certainly a great deal of the taxa tion has, actually, no other purpose. There is nothing that can be called an intelligent or scientific system of taxa tion in effect anywhere in America, that we know of. It seems to us that it should be possible at least to mark off the fields of taxation that might be occupied by different governmental units. It does not seem right to have federal, state, county, township and municipal taxes overlapping, each political unit trying to extract blood from the same turnip. There is a great opportunity for real statesmanship, as distinguished from op- poi'tunist politics, in the effort to so re distribute taxation that it will bear fair ly on all and not too heavily on anybody. But the man who undertakes that Hercu lean tasks will haye all of the tax- hungry politicians, of all parties, on his neck. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN SUMMIT.

One of the most helpful and practical books In the New Testament is the epistle of James, probably written by James, the brother of Jesus, who was the leading man in the Jerusa- I'lem church. He was called “James the Just,’’ and, according to tradition, died a martyr, even as did his brother the Saviour. It is clear from the picture we get of him in the book of Acts that he was a steadfast character, conser vative and cautious. When we examine the letter bearing bis name we are impressed by its author’s sturdy common sense. Now James' epistle is an earnest sermon preached not to one particular group' but to all of Christendom. Furthermore it contains more echoes of the teaching of Jesus than any other New Testament book, save the gospels. It reminds us strongly of the Sermon on the Mount, that sublime expression of the Master’s wisdom. And because it is so close to Jesus it breathes the air of democracy, for our Lord, to whom the common folk listened gladly, was the great est democrat who ever lived. And how practical is its counsel! Such mysteries as the incarnation, the atonement, the trinity are not discussed at all. James is interested in right conduct. A lover of the law, he insists upon the importance of works. James wants his readers to be doers. Righteousness is his passion. And so h® puts 54 commands into the 108 verses of bis stirring letter. “Do not do this,’’ he says. “Do not do that.’’ ’There is thus a negative prohibitory tone in his epis tle, but it is none the less useful for that. . One of the finest parts of this letter is the famous passage on'the tongue Jn chapter. Here James shows how powerful wicked ig° human speech. >-The'tonfme, hifargaeB; cannot be domeetleated. is an untameable beast. PORES KNOB. Route 2, Sept. 16.—Mr. and )*Irs. J. F.
