! THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH What every jj business man knows Every business man knows the danger cf using too much borrowed capital in financing the growth of a business. But the promise of the ultimate success H • of an undertaking often justifies the ac cumulation of debt against the day when established earning power will attract jj new partnership capital. Such has been the record of the Southern Railway Company. For thirty years it has been compelled to finance itself by borrowing and the reinvestment of jj earnings. jj But the Southern should now take its rightful place among the enterprises of the South whose solid worth merits the !j confidence of investors and attracts oartners rather than creditors. 11 11 f 8 \ !

DOBBINSVILLE SCHOOL MAKING GREAT RECORD Ellenboro, R-2, Nov. 30.—Dobbins ville has made the best record in his tory for its first month this year. We had a total enrollment of eighty-one and our average for this month was seventy. Our attendance has not been any problem this month. All absences we have had were on ac count of sickness except some that moved away. It is one oi the best three-teacher schools in the county, the teachers committee, and parents all try to co operate in every way and everything has been moving along splendidly. An interesting chapel program is rendered each week by one of the three teacher s and their pupils. Each teacher has chapel in their own room daily but we all come together on Thursday morning. The grammar grade planned a Thanksgiving program which consist ed of a play, "The Pumpkin Pie," songs and other good numbers. Dobbinsville had a box supper Fri day night, November 20th. A fine pro gram was rendered and a large crowd was present. Mr. Tom Matheny sold the boxes. REV. J. B. CARPENTER HAS BEEN A MASON 64 YEARS Rev. J. B.

JE TERMS TO SUIT THE FOREST CITY COURIER Tanner's Grove, Nov. 30. —We are having some real cold weather at the present. A large crowd of the Tanner's Grove people attended the singing convention at Shiloh Sunday and en joyed the fine singing. Misses Annie Grose, Mary lorns, Nellie Sherrill spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Ar thur Grose. Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Toms and chil dren spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Toms. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Grose delight fully f.ntertained a number of their friends with a party Saturday night. The B. Y. P. U. of Bethany Bap tist church is making a good record. It hasn't been organized but a little over two months and we have forty four members, and by saying that we have forty-four members we mean we have forty-four real working boys and girls who are trying to make our B. Y. P. U. a real B. Y. P. U. Four teen of our members have received their diplomas for taking the B. Y. P. U. study course which Mr. Waters taught. More of our boys and girls would have received diplomas but couldn't take the study course. Miss Mary Toms delightfully en tertained the members of Bethany B. Y. P. U. with a Thanksgiving social Thursday night. One of the funniest things that happened was a woman less wedding in which Miss Priscilla Rosebud Quill (Mr. Wade Bostic) be came the bride of Mr. Archibald Her cules Headlight (Mr. Cortez Ham rick). After the wedding several contests took place, one of the most interesting ones being a motor ro mance, Miss Annie Grose and Mr. Grayson Bostic being the winners. Those attending the social were Misses Pauline, Nell, Vonnie Doggett, Miss Mathis, Corrie Ilamrick, Grace, Nellie and Ruth Lewis, Gladys, Zel ma and Nellie Sherrill, Garrie and Virgie Bostic, Annie Grose, Mary Toms; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Grose; Messrs.

E. Lewis. "Robbery of money is not a great er sin than the robbery of time. When a man enters upon a job for which he receives pay, he sells his time and his energy to his employer. Honesty sliouJd compel him to give fair meas ure and to regard any shirking of his work as on exactly the same par as the gouger who robs a customer by false weights. "Robbery is robbery, whether it be the robbery of the short-weight fraud, robbery of time by the clerk or the laboring man, or whether it be rob bery by an unfair employer who deals unfairly or pays unfairly to his em ployees."—Manufacturers Record.

Margerum, of Trenton, N. J., has purchased 10,000 acres of land in Western North Carolina for.the purpose of mining felspar, used in the manufacture of glass and pottery. These lands are said to be located in Mitchell, Avery, Yancey and Ruther ford counties, being scattered here and there wherever prospects have been found. Consideration said to be over $3,000,000. Mr. Margerum, it is reported, states that he ha s purchased the controll ing interest in the Erwin Felspar Mining Company, one of the largest producers of felspar. It is presumed that the large pottery company with which Mr. Margerum is identified at the plant near Trenton will greatly enlarge the operations in Western North Carolina. It is known that for some time past agents of the great potteries in New Jersey and middle Ohio have been scouting all through the mountains of North Carolina. It is reported that some of the finds have yielded felspar of unusual fineness and this is what is attracting the attention of the pot teries. REV. CHILDRESS COMES TO HENRIETTA Rev. R. N. Childress, of Mt. Airy, has accepted a call to the Henrietta- Caroleen Baptist churches, taking up his pastoral work Dec. Ist. He is a schoolmate of Rev. W. T. Tate and did splendid work at Mt. Airy.
