And they are not whining. : Some people are glad if but half of the way Lies out of the shadow, or part of the day They see the sun shining. SupptMe you try smilintr. , I know you are lonely, but other hearts ache. And bravely refuse to be bitter or break Because of life's sorrow, i They think of the joy in the land far away. ; And hasten the slow passing hours of bxiay With hopes of to-morrow. Suppose you try smiling. This funny old world is a mirror, you know. Turn its way with a sneer, or face of a fue. And you will see trouble, j But meet it with laughter and looks full of cheer And back will come sunshine and love true and j dear. Your blessings to double, j Suppose you try smiling. ; All places are open to thane who are glad, ! Too many lack courage, too many are sad. i Those near you need cheering. So sing with your burden, the way is not long. And if you look upward your heart will grow strong. And skies will be clearing. Suppose you try smiling: -By Myra Goodwin Plantx. The Lexington Dispatch issued a special edition last week, which was a regular pictorial gallery of the business men and industrial enter prises of the section. It was a creditable showing for the paper and the county of Davidson. In discussing the civil war. Gover nor Glenn tersely expressed a forci ble truth when he said: "They whipped us and whipped us badly, but when we said 'enough they said 'Thank God' as glad to quit as we were." The Progressive Farmer celebrat ed its twentieth birthday last week with an anniversary edition. It has grown to be the best of all agricul tural magazines for the Southern farmer, and Editor Clarence H. Poe has proven to its constituency that years of best literary effort will make up its history so long as he is at the head. Continued success to it. j A New York City firm finds that ; it pays to advertise through the dull months of the year, and gives as rea sons therefor that those are the : months when business is needed worst and it can afford to advertise ' most persistently; and secondly, i in the dull months a large propor l tion of advertisers withdraw their ' ads., when ordinary space is worth just twice as much as in the busy j months, owing to the greater promi ' nence with which it stands out. That firm pays $100,000 a year for adver tising alone, and it has customers, we dare say, in every town in Stanly county. The reasoning is good, and it is made clear that when times are dull, the advertiser is blind to his own interests when he fails to dou ble his efforts. In Albemarle, there is a goodly list of business men who believe in advertising, and they ad vertise liberally. It pays them. We could cite our readers to two firms in this town who have not let a week pass in years when their ads. failed to appear .These are Morrow Bros & Heath Co. and Mr. F. E. Starnes.the jeweler. Same can be said of E. M. Asbury Co., up to the time of a change in the firm the first of the year and of the Cabarrus Savings Bank. These firms have grown steadily and have not been at a stand still at any time. Correct business methods, assiduous efforts, free ad vertising, are good links in the chain of success.

"I have, sir," was the curt an swer. "I am thankful, "said the ignorant one, "that the Lord has opened my mouth to preach without learning." "A familiar event occurred in Ba laam's, time," was the retort.

Coming from the leading Republi can weekly of the State the Greens ' boro Tar Heel the following para graphs from its last week's issue are , rather significant, and bring out sev eral things that have heretofore been branded as "Democratic lies." The Tar Heel says: The situation in North Carolina seems to illustrate the weakness of the Republican party. . It does even more than that; it ; seems to illustrate and confirm our contention, that the chief source of this weakness is federal patronage. ; It is crippled by the mossback tradi-. tions of its earlier days. i There are still those of prominence in lis nil iks wno count, an victories t i . I. - fruitless which do not give them choice places at the pie counter, I here are a lew who have isiwtiL the majority of their years in the:7., ', l, :,.,, pursuit and enjoyment of federal ! jobs. They seem to think that the party was created for the express purpose of providing comfortable berths for them. They appear to be utterly oblivious to the rights, con victions or interests of the rank and file of those who are impelled solely by a sense of conviction in the sup port of the cardinal principles and policies of the party. They play pol itics for jobs as the gambler plays his cards for money. The only dif ference is that there is a certain code of honor which the decent gambler recognizes and obeys, while the av erage mossback office-seeker appears to recognize nothing as too sacred for sacrifice in his chase for a posi tion under Uncle Sam. In North Carolina the mossback boss is not concerned about the suc cess of his party in his county, his district or his state. He is content to leave the result of the national contest to the northern and western states. All he cares for is an organ ization (with a big O) just large enough to be manipulated in the dis tribution of federal patronage. It must not be big enough to be un wieldly. Its sole function is the di vision of pie. This is the record which history will write of the moss back bosses. Red Springs Fire Swept, Red Springs, Feb. 18. Practically the entire business district of Red Springs was destroyed by fire to-day. Eighteen stores and two-dwellings were consumed, involvmg loss of $80,000, with an approximate insur ance of 140,000. The fire originated from a defective flue in a restaurant in the rear of one of the stores. No vacant stores are available and nearly all of those burned out will go out of business until new build ings can be erected. ! The North Carolina Military Acad emy and Southern Presbyterian Col lege, located here were untouched by the fire. Owing to the fact that the town is without fire-fighting facilities, little or nothing could be done to check the progress of the flames. From the Troy Montgomerian. The Whitney Company continues to keep up with its property in this section. Messrs. E O. Bostwick of Palmerville, general superintendent of the Company's lands, and N. M. Thayer of Eldorado spent Monday night in town on their way to the Iola mining district, where they are surveying the Company's property. Mr. Bostwick says the development on the Yadkin river" is being pushed as rapidly as labor conditions will allow. After a prolonged illness of sever al months, Fannie, 16-year-old daughter of Mr. Obe Hamilton, who occupies a cottage in factory row, died last Thursday evening, Febru ary 8, 1906. A Hmsltllg tiimiiel The Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sharon Baptist Church, Belair, Ga., says of Electric Bitters: "It's a God send to mankind. It cured me of lame back, stiff joints, and complete physical collapse. I was so weak it took me half an hour to walk a mile.

Nothing has attracted the atten tion of the manufacturing interests of the country since the days of tariff revision so much as the Money amendment to the pure food bill.lt is being carefully studied by the inter ested parties on both sides, the man ufacture of food products and the men whose duty it will be to enforce the law. and meets with the warmest commendation from all. It is entirely free from any constitutional objec tions, and is the only bill so far pro posed which regulates the manufac ture of foods without prohibiting the same on the say so of one man. It will prove a boon to themanutactur-; er.a protection to the public, and the j means of absolute regulation by the ; government in a fair and equitable j manner of the production of articles for human consumption. Its only ! opponent is Prof. Wylie, who sees ; his finish if it passes, as he then ' won't be able to waste $200,000 to $300,000 of the people's money each I year in maintaining his useless poison ' squad. j The Panama Canal continues just as near completion as it has been at any time in the past. The testimony taken here before the Senate com mittee shows that it must be built by alien labor, as the climatic condi tions are such that American labor cannot work there. Engineer Ste vens says that this alien labor must be Chinese, as no other foreign labor is suitable. If the work is continued by Jamaica negroes it witrtake much longer and be much more expensive, as a Jamaica negro won't do more than 25 per cent, as much work as an ordinary laborer. It is estimated that if done by Chinese it can be fin ished $80,000,000 cheaper than by Jamaicans. The Chinese govern ment won't allow us to take Chinese unless it is done by responsible peo ple, and under the strongest guaran tee that they will be taken back to China when through. That is just what we want. By all means get the Chinese and save our taxpayers that eighty millions. "Pure food" WY-LIE, the chemist of the Agricultural department, spent most of his time last week talkingtothe Appropriation bill com mittee in the House to see if he couldn't get a big appropriation to spend. Of course, if he don't get it he won't take nearly so much inter est in the pure food question, for without it he won't be able to run around and waste his wind in deliv ering "if-you-eat-you-die" addresses before the Old Maids' protective as sociations and other kindred female organizations, while his infant class in chemistry waste their time and the government money in their futile efforts to prove that everything fit to eat is poison. And you, Mr. Tax payer, are paying for all of this tom myrot. In order to build the canal by alien labor it is necessary that the provi sions of the eight-hour law and the contract labor law be made inappli cable to alien labor employed in the canal zone during the construction of the canal. Some steps to bring this about have already been taken, and it is reported that the Senate committee are now framing a gener al bill which will govern the con struction of the canal, and do away with the red tape and vexatious problems which have tied it up in the past. Such a bill ought to be sup ported by every American taxpayer, for it's his money that is building the canal, and it should be done as economically as possible. Senator Foraker's proposed amend ment to the Statehood bill is a just and fair one. It provides that elec tions shall be held in each territory to determine if it is the will of the people that Arizona and New Mexico shall be admitted as one State, and if a majority of the inhabitants of either territory vote against single statehood, then the bill shall have no effect and they shall remain as separate territories. This is right. Why should these people be forced down each other's throats, just for political reasons: The Hepburn rate bill pasred the House by a vote of 346 to 7. On such a showing it must be absolutely harmless to both the people and the railroads, and perfectly safe to take in any quantity. - m .

JUDGE BYirtJM HITS FROM THE SHOULDER. I Salisbury post, I u i8 none of our fiarht and we have (except in one instance) - refrained j fr0m commenting UDon the trial of j the distillers and revenue officers I wno have been on the rack in the Federal courts of Western North Carolina during the past year. There has been much whispered talk, how ever, with reference to the latter day activity of the courts as contrast ed with the leniency of former times. Ex-Judge Bynum in his argument in defense of G. W. Samuels Wednes day gave publicity to this talk and we publish what he had to say as it is reported in the Industrial News. "This is the outcome of an infer nal political row in Wilkes county, something that seems to actuate many Republicans in this State,-who in their infernal lust for office, turn ed demons in their efforts to damn and blacken men's characters. Here you find in Wilkes county, the honest contest in the primaries between Linney and Blackburn for Congress." j "In the convention Blackburn tri umphed, and immediately began the unparalleled, systematic vituperation of this man Samuel, one of Black burn's strongest supporters, by Lin ney's supporters, which never stopp ed when it reached the portals of this court." "It was also a fight of old-revenue officers who were out against reve nue officers who were in." "It is the most relentless, inhu man, damnable state of affairs than ever existed or was permitted in any civilized country. Just let a man have the temerity or capacity to fill a position, and here flop down a black brood of scavenger harpies and tear his heart out." Lurklmt Man III Arkansas.
