Thi' the normal attitude for \ouiig people ii» good health who are (U'vott'd to each other lu the old fashiuuod way. At the same time the fni-t eaimot be ignored that there are vuung men and women to whom the eoaitbrts of good living seem es- geofi.'il. Tliev are accustomed to hav^e what' iln v wans, to go to theatres, to pass a tortnight in tl)e summer in the inotuitaius, to dress as the prevail ing mode demands. It impre,sses them as an unendurable hardship to revert to a simpler standard of liv- iug. to suffer deprivatioua and to p-’aotiee the nece.ssary economics to nwrry with a small income. The question at once suggests it self whether the parents of the pres ent generation are not responsible for this condition. They may have started life simply but they have ac cumulated means and they have de sired that their children shall have all the comtbits and pleasures avail able. But by failing to insist on any seifdenlal on tne part of their sons and daught£rs have they not unfitted them for the greater happi ness uf married life. The young man, as a rule, cannot hope to be gin with the income which his fath er has acquired after twenty-five years in business. He cannot ex pect to be able to establish a new home on the same standard as the one he is leaving which was built by years of enleavor. The very in- dulgeti{;e ot parents tluis tends to make it impossible tor their children to marry. Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, say.s; ‘^The good Electriu Bitters have done is worth niore than five hundred dol- lais to me. I spent nmch money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to liitle purpose. I then tri'cid Electric Bitters, and they cur ed me, I now take them as a tunic, and they keep me strong and well,"” 50c at Freeman Drug Store. “An exchange says Roosevelt doesn’t look his fifty years.

A bid to have the proposed Pyth ian orphanage established, in Wins ton-Salem may bei made by the lodges of that city. The matter will come before acoraniittee named by the last meeting of the Grand Lodge. With a roll of bills amounting to 1^500, a stranger giving his name as A. A. Linder, of Charlottesvill, Va., was arrested at Salisbury last week for beating his way south on train No. 35. He paid af 5 fine and was set free. P. H. Henley, a farmer of Ran dolph county, reports that he has raised ou a half-acre lot 28,000 pounds of beete, showing what Ran dolph county can do in t^’e trucking business. Mr. Henly will use the beet as feed for his cattle. C. E. Lumsden, of Spencer, a highly regarded locomotive engineer on the Southern Railway, with a run between Spencer and Monroe, Va., has left the cab for the pulpit and has entered Rutherford (JolJege for a thorough preparation for the min istry. Isaac Perryman of near High Point who left a note stating that he intended to kill himself was found last Sunday in a swamp in Davidson county. Perryman had been missing about five or six days during w’hich time his friends had been hunting for him, thinking that he had drowned himself. However crazy he may be, he had sense enough to not commit the fatal act. He is in jail at Lexington. Would Mortgage ttic Fario, A farmer’on Rural Ponte 2. Ero- j)ire, Ga,, W. A.

Just a year ago, based up- economics and the times, we ad- risecl those vvho had idle money to J|nit it ni standard stocks and fii’st- Ifclass bonds. We now venture an other bit of advice ba'-ed upon the coming end of the era of depression. If you intend to build soon, do it I now. Borrovv^, if necobsary, wiiat- lever, under your own circumstar\ces. is a prudent portion of the cost. All the elements for such an operatiuo are cheap.

The maferials foi Pcoustruction, espocially lumber, an jvery cheap. Flooring, iu most lu- [calities^ is twenty percent below its price a year ago; and hardwoods may be had for the former cost of soft I woods. Build now for your own Kidvantage; you will employ idle la- ■bor, relieve dealers of their stofiks, land help along prosperity for all. [F^or such as reside where thenveath- er mal;es present building impossi ble, the opportunity may wait until spring, but certainly not much long er. Birth Rate or Baby Death Rate. | Fhiladelphia Press. Prof. Wilcox, of Cornell in point ing to our decreasing birth rate would have been fairer if he had pointed out that all lauds share it, save Germany, and it is drawing iiear theie. When lands or races grow civilized and prosper theii bi*'th rate always drop:,. But this decrease in birth rate vould t)e uf little consequence if the )aby death rate were not so heavy, .lalf the babies born die before they ,re grown up. A stock farm would ^o into !)ankriipicy if its calves, olts and Iftmb'' died at ti^e rate ba- »ies do in a civilizrul comiuiinitv. The presetil (iecreased and ue- •reasiiig birUi raie would give ample uori ase >if population, which to be thaukfnl, if preventable diseases among children, including tubercu losis, were once oliecked as they could be. Ttie real ‘-race suicide” is the needless loss of children by maladies that sweep off half those born before they reach 20 years of age.

Don’t Kick Hubby, Oiicag, Dee. 1.—‘‘Never kick your husband. When he provokes von and you are tempted to knock down, stifle your angry feelings and Kiss him,” lliis hit of advice guaranteed to ' the home intact was given by ' u; iu-y. Mr, John A. Davis, of * \ork, who is conductiag evan- Lfef'iicai meetings at the First Baptist y of Austin. He spoke to ) n-omen ‘‘between the ages of ’-> and 99,” and all the male escorts lust night were sent t> the M.-^etDoiit until the minister had de- '''fiU'd his address on “What Young onm Ought to Kdow.’^ Mystery Surrounds Tragedy. Early last Thursday moring at Durham one of the greatest myste ries that ever overshadowed that community occurred when engineer J. A. Holt, one of the best engin eers on the Southern road, was shot which caused his death in about SO minutes. Mr. Holt was sitting in the cab with his hand on the throt tle. He had stopped his engine to be filled with water and coal. Real izing that he was dying he called his fellow trainmen around him and bid them good-bye. The only regret he had was that ©f leaving his wife £i!nd family. His oldest daughter being seriously ill with typhoid fever and his wife unable to leave her bed. Mr. Holt was forty-five years old. About one hour after the death of Mr. Holt some unknown party shot through the window of Mr. M. Greenberg. The family had been out late with relatives and were just retiring when the shot was fired. Some time ago Mr. Greenberg was notified by a letter signed, “Night Rider,” to vacate a number of ten ant houses which were occupied by negroes. This is attributed as be ing the reason for the shooting, thinking it would scare him, and cause hiui to grant the request. fact that he talks like sixty,” says the Allentown Call. Ah, yes; but usually he is as game as a two-year- old, all right. Exclusive of registei;ed matter, ♦^^he railway mail service during the last fiscal year handled 21,650,849,- 745 pieces of mail matter according to the annual report of Second As sistant Postmaster General Stewart. Because of practically illegal addres ses 35,565,361 pieces required «ipe- cial attention with the result that 18,987,625 were returnedjto sender or corrected and forwarded. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L* Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Ho tel, Vaughn, Miss., says: “For sev eral months I suffered with a severe cough, and consumption seemed to have its grip on me, when a friend recommended Dr. King’s New Dis covery. I began taking it, and three bottles affected a complete cure.” The fame of this life saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer is woi'ld wide. Sold at Freeman Drug Co, 50c and fl.OO.
