Editorial Clippings. HOW ONE BOT LOOKS AT TOWN FOLK a (Statesvillo Sentinel.) It's very Interesting sometimes to find out what the others think of us. This time it is a country lad's opinion of city folks, as ex pressed by him in a debate held re-' cently at Terrell, in Catawba coun- ' ty that gives ua a little food for reflection. The young man in ques tion is but 12 years old and he was given the negative side of the ar gument, "Resolved that .city life is more oleasant than country life." The young man was further handi capped by being obliged to speak in opposition to a young lady; how ever, ht came through with flying colon, the judges rendering a un animous verdict in his favor. The young debater is Fred Beatty, aged 12, and his opponent was Miss Eva May Wilkinson, aged 13. Both are students of Terrell High School. The .arzuments used by the young man are as follows: "I know that country life is bet ter, because I can feel the fresh air. and see the srreen fields or cot- ion, corn wheat, rye, oats and peas. In the country we work and raise our own food, and have e nous: it left to feed the people in town. do not have to work all the time, however, we can go visiting when-1 ever we gvt ready without fear of losing our Jobs When we come back our Job is awaiting us. In the winter time we don t have much to do except get up wood and sit back in th house and watch the firs burn, tn the country we can til in ine nouie wnen n Twins ana do not have to go out unless we want to. When the snow comes wt can take our sleds and ride down tht hill. The town people when they meet you, ort the street they will hardly speak to you. If it Wasn't for the country people, they .couldn't live, for the country peo ple furnish them food. In the coun. trj' we have horses, cows, hogs and chickens, and we have plenty of cprp and roughness to feed our stock, .without having to buy any. In the towns the people live large ly out of paper pokes. They also have to keep their chickens screened m small lots and have to buy feed for them. In the country when the snow is on the ground, we can have lots of sport tracking and killing rabbits and eating them. In the towns, they don't have, time to get out in the Snow and hunt rabbits. When town people get lout .in the country and see any fruit or anything else that they like they act like pigs over it. If we cotmtry people cut a water melon they almost kill themselves eating it. Anything the country people have that the 'town neoole want, they don't stop till they get t way from them. They have so many mean people in the towns, that they have to keep a mayor and several policemen . to make thorn behave. The country people work hard, raise lots of food and sell it to the town people. The town peo fit never art able to get much resh air on account of so many buildings. - Most towns are full of picture shows and they are nothing vm neii holes. Boon the country people will have electric lights and water works n every home. We country people are sorry for those wno live in town, and have to live mainly on cheese and crackers, while we have most any kind of gooo iooa we want.

The cere monials incident to the inaugura tion of President-elect Harding will cost an aggregate of $1,000, 000, Senator Borah repeatedly told his associates this afternoon This would cover the; grand ball, the attendance of Governors and their staffs, the bringing on of cadets and midshipmen and other odds and ends. The discusion of pomp, display and economy began when Senator Knox offered a resolution appro priating $50,000 for the ceremonies at the Capitol. This would include the grand stand at the east front. After a long war of words Senator Norrismade a motion to limit the a mount to $10,000. The mat ter went over until tomorrow. There already is an estimate of $37,000 for bringing the cadets lr n&th!.1C,a1StSitee appointments which the Card- nere irom vyest roint, said wr. Borah, and $25,000 for middies ro'thTSn BniKforih!! imately $200,000. None of these items,e said, has any connection I with the fund of $100,000 being raised by citizens.. An appropriation of $60,000 will be asked to pay extra police, said dition there must be information j Senator New, interrupting. In ad booths and other adjuncts; Will Reach $1,000,000 Mark. "This makes a good beginning for the inaugural," said Senator Borah. "It is reported that at least ten Governors will come hertf with their staffs, the cost being at least $100,000. This comes from the people just the same as if ap propriated by Congress. I pre dict there will be $1,000,000 ex pended on this programme." "Senator Harding is not given io ostentation and display," continued Mr. Borab. "If it were left to him this would be a simple, digni fied affair." He referred to the $24,000,000,000 of national debt and other heavy burdens that op nress the people. He read f roni Marion despatches declaring the "most dazzling celebration within the memory of this generation" had been planned. "I regard this as a crime," said Mr. Borah. ; It was explained by Senator Knox that this committee has nothing to do with the various items indicated by Mr. BOrah. the President-elect, he said, .could send from his hotel room, get a notary public and subscribe to the required oath at an expense of 50 cents. No fees will be charged for ' the 10.000 seats at the east front Senator. Knox said he had read where President Lincoln, after tak ing oath,, turned and kissed the thirty-four girls representing the various States. A long account of tho simplicity displayed at the in auguration of Jefferson was read by Senator Fletcher. 'In line with simplicity " said Mr. 1. Knox, "will the Senator read the statement showing the ex penses of the American delegation at the Peace Conference?" "I baven't got it." replied Sen ator Fletcher, "and it has nothing to do with this case." . Aporove Kissing if Free. "t wished eight years ago," said Senator Reed, "that we might re turn to the simplicity of Jefferson, but I saw no signs of it. I wish it it four years ago. but did not ob-1 serve that the spirit of Jefferson hovered over the ceremon;'. This Jeffersonian eruption only, appears on the. skins of some democrats when they are in the minority." "Extravagance is a' disease," said Senator Norris ' in opposing the Knox resolution. "Some place, some time, somebody must call a halt."' Mr. Norris said-nobody would deny Mr. Harding the privi lege of kissing the girls ' provided he could, find them, and they were willing, and it could be done with out expense to the taxpayers. " Finally Mr. Borah sad he would accept the Knox . allowance, - but asked all Senators to join him in opposing any further appropria tions for the inauguration. Congress should do its share and see the President-elect is proper ly cared for, said Senator Pome rent. - "Three Presidents have been shot down," he said. "No Senator ever would forgive him self if anything happened to tht President-elect on March 4," He emphasized the necessity for am ple police protection. He announc ed himself as "out of harmony with the other, proposed festivities." SENATE APPOINTMENTS' a MAY CREATE FRICTION Gardner "Senators Threatens To Take Committee Assignment in Own Hands. ' . -" , Raleigh, Jan. Sj--Lieutenaht Governor Cooper, highbilling it to Charlotte this afternoon, was turn ed back .in Greensboro by telegrams galore, so goes the rumor .tonight, and headed off in the determina tion to confer with incoming Gov- i " J)t.finn t-. -nt imli.

',,; ir Today the rules eotnnnttefr met and came as near doing nothing as it could, but Lieutenant Governor Cooper is, said to have been told that his power was passing. Wht the Charlotte trip would have turn ed up is problematical, but it is un derstood by all the anti-Cooperitts that the lieutenant governor meant to ask the- chief what manner of men and women would suit his ex cellency four years. ;: ': ;t! For instance, one story, has it that Governor Cooper sought to make Senator DeLaney, of Meek? lenburg, tfhairman of one of the judiciary committees, and that wasn't pleasing. On appropria tions, McCoin, of Hendoraon, . and Varser, of Robeson, seem to have been selected. The lieutenant gov ernor is back tonight.

Sneaker Grier'a se lection of his chief opponent in tht earlier stages of the contest is hap py. Everett is regarded . as the man for the place. Many commit tee appointments will be made to morrow.
