Wadesboro Ansouian. Commenting on the Ansonian report of the Hon. T. W. Hickett's speech here recently, in which he declared that every jgirl should know how to cook, the States- ville Landmark submits the fol lowing sensible remarks; 4 'This sort of talk isn't popular, but every individual of sense knows it is practical common sonse, and it should be empha sized again and again until it takes hold of the mind and hearts of parents especially. In this connection it is gratifying to note that Dr. C. M. Richards, of Davidson, in his annual sermon before the Young Woman's Chris tian Association of Statesville Fe male Collegej discussing the character of Ruth, the Moabitess, gave her first distinction !or in dustry and ealled attention to the fact that industry is the chief virtue ascribed to the virtuous woman described in the Book of Proverbs. And then Dr. Rich ards stated plainly, and with em phasis that it is a discredit to a woman in any position to be an idler; that it is a distinct discred it to her not to know how to work, no matter what her posi tion, and it is to her shame to be unwilling to work when necessary. -'This sort-of talk, we repeat, is not popular. . When a girl is told that she should know how to cook and keep a house she is more than likely to answer that cooks can be hired, with further sarcastic remarks tothe effect that a man who wan ls a woman for the jvork she cali do, as a low idpas nf thA rn n :L-"j . .. -""II 1CU BIAIC.

The home is the foundation of all that is good, and a home is a wo manusually a wife and a moth er. There can be no home with out her. And yet for the train mg of these home-makers, on whom rests practically all that is good in this life or in that which is to come; no provision is made in the schools and little or no at tention is given the training in too many homes. "It is all right that girls are tought music and painting and other accomplishments. All these help to adorn and make attract ive the home. But the practical side cannot be neglected. The material things what we shall eat and drink and wherewithall we shall be clothed are abso lutely necessary. In towns, es pecially, women usually do the buying for the family. Dr. Knapp, in an address before the State Legislature at its recent session, said that ihe ignorance of the women in not knowing how to buy and what to buy cost the nation two billion dollars an nually; that few women know how to select the proper kind of food, and that many a baby has died prematurely because its mother did not kpow to take care of it. There are three things, says Dr. Knapp and the Landmark wants Mr. Bickett to include them in the cooking school law that a girl ought to know, and a girl isn't fit for marriage until she does know them. They are: (1) What food to purchase and how to cook it; (2) how to make her cwn clothes and those of the family; (3) how to nurse and doctor the family.

Yours obedientlv, (MRS.) W. P. EVANS, !s MYe, ut it possi bly might occur to the daughters of Eve who entertain these high flown notionf, that the woman who morries with the idea of getting a man to support her, and who is willing to let her hus band slave and wear his life out in the struggle to provide for her. without doing all in her power to assist in making the mutual partnership a success, hasn't a very elevated conception of the married state. "But modern society, in which extravagance and extravagance that involves more or less of dis honestyis a national vice, mod ern education and the silly idea? of foolish parents are responsible for this condition of affairs; and the idea is more or less prevalent among some women that it is a sort of distinction to profess to know absolutely nothing about .. . r i 1. .IJ the management oi nousenoia affairs. This kind is of course to be pitied for not knowing any better than to think that what is really to their discredit is meri torious, but the parents and mod ern education, as has been said, are to blame. Nearly every woman expects to marry and of course keep a house, but how many are educa ted or trained in any way for the important duties of homemaking? It is amazing that so many moth ers make of themselves the veri est drudges to save their daugh ters from housework; they not only do not train them to house work, but distinctly avoid train ing them, offering as an excuse that they want the girls to "have a better time" than they had. By and by the girl marries and she has to learn, under unfavor able conditions, what her mother should have taught her, or she should have been taught at school. Entirely ignorant of managing a home, she not only these or can get efficient help if able), all well and good; but it is necessary for the home-manager to know how the work should be done, that she may see to it that it is done satisfactorily and eco nomically: "There is one class of women, and one only, who are in some measure excusable for lack of knowledge of home duties. These are the young women who, as soon as they can be equipped as bread-earners, go out as teach ers, stenographers and the like. These may lack knowledge of housework, but it is usually for lack of opportunity; and if they are industrious enough to go bravely and early into the field as bread-earner;, they wiil make good home-makers, for they would soon acquire the know ledge necessary. In fact expe rience as a teacher for a business woman usually makes such an one more appreciative of what a home is and what it should be, so that if opportunity comes they will, while possibly lacking prac tical experience, make the better home-makers for their other ex perience. All -honor to the apostles of this crusade such as Messrs. Bickett and Richards who have the courage to talk common sense. May their tribe increase.

As we were at press with our last issue, exercises were being held in the Opera House com memorative of the honor of Jef ferson Davis, President of the Confedrate States of America. The exercises were opened by singing the doxology, after which there was a scriptural reading and praaer by Rev. John M. Rose. Then the address of the occasion was delivered b Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, his subject be ing Jefferson Davis. The ad dress was a masterful piece, de livered with great earnestness, and showed that the speaker had delivered much time to the pre paration of his speech. Next, "Should Old Acquaint ance be Forgot?" was surfe, and then came the delivery of the crosses of honor to those old sol diers present who had qualified themselves for such, the delivery being made by Capt. William H. McLaurin, Mrs. L. A. McLaurin pinning them on those old sol diers fortunate enough to get thEJ. The audience was dis missed with the benediction, all going home glad that they had attended such an enthusiastic re union exercises. The cause of the old soldiers is quite 'a live one in this county, and our county commissioners could not do anything that would meet with more favor than to take advantage of the act of the last Legislature, and the matter is now up to them to do what they think best.

A PROSPECTIVE. Charlotte Observer. For the reason that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," or that all North Carolin ians in order to get the best re sults for themselves and the pub lic they serve, need periods of recuperation; and the greater the change from the daily routine and grind, the more benefit will be derived. Now the modern summer re sort is a burlesque on everything that pertains ta rest. In these delightful days of June, the old man is in his sweat box levying on every ounce of available vi tality, not that he expects to un harness in July and August, but that he may be able to supply the demand for the extra quan tity of shekels required to give his blooming daughter a much needed outing at a fastidiously fashionable resort that wears the blue ribbon for being the most de lightfully expensive place at all. The mother, whose strained and nervous expression, pallid cheek and hollow eyes all send up a cry for rest out in the sunshine and shadows of some sweet scented forest is doubled over some fancy handwork or the sewing machine clattering down long rows of white stuffs like a runaway train down a steep grade. The goal of these days and nights of strenuous toil; That Mary Ann may be some body's, "tootsy-wootsy in the good old summertime."

Our good and estimable friend, Settle Dockery, has made the expression, "the best town at all," famous in its application to Rockingham, and in many re spects he may have the evidence on his side, but it remains to be said that such was certainly not the case in the ball game between Rockingham and this city Fri day, for our boys just took the bits in their teeth and ran away with the visitors. The game was comparatively long, and very uninteresting after the first inn ing, for it was in this inning that the locals got a lead of six runs on their opponents, thus as suring them the victory. The Rockingham boys put Weil in the box in the first inning, Mc Call in the second, and Morrow then finished the game. Mor row pitched good ball, except for an occasional streak of wildness. But for his wildness he would go in fast company, sure enough. He was late arriving, and hence did not pitch the first two inn ings of the game. For Laurinburg, Crouch pitch ed the game, and he pitched a good one, too; the boys just struck out before him like new ones at the business. Sefird, the new catcher, was given his initial appearance, and maybe he didn't show up all right; he is a regular Walley James behind the bat, and our boys are to be con gratulated upon the acquisition. All the boys did fine, but the running catch of Frank Forde in center deserves special mention. The hitting of our boys was bet ter this game than usual, and with practice we ought to win everything this season.
