A Preacher Beaten.
About 8 o'clock p. m. on last
Wednesday, March 30th, the
home of Rev. J, D. Andrew was
visited by a large number of his
church members and friends who
proceeded in an orderly way to
administer to him and family
quite a large “pounding.'* More
than 250 pounds were delivered
besides cloth, soap, a butter
knife and other articles. To s^
the dining room filled in this
manner brought great joy to the
family, and the little children
fairly danced in delight. The
Eastor in a few words expressed
is thanks to the donors. “Blest
be the tie that binds” was sung
and after aln hours sc»cial inter
course the crowd disbanded and
returned home. Be assured that
this “pounding” whicb came as
an absolute surprise to the pastor
was heartily appreciated by him
and family.
May G^’s richest blessings
rest upon those who in this way
gave of their material things.
The Telephone.
Editorial from the Times, Black-
shear, Ga., March 10. 1910.
The telephone business is grow
ing and is becoming a necessity.
The Farmer should wake up to
the fact that telephones are a
necessity, and put in phones and
get in touch with the world. They
should build lines and make con
nections with business people of
the towns, and the people of the
towns becoming in closer
with the farmers, much of the
business of our farmers could be
transacted over the ’phone. For
a few cents they could call up the'
merchant, lawyer, doctor, or any
other person and transact busines
instead of traveling miles and
miles during the busy season
through the heat,cold, or i-ain.
They could do most of their buy
ing and selling by phone. The
time is fast coming‘when a fam
ily in-town or county who hasn’t
a phone will get'behind in busi
ness affairs and thereby lose more
money than it would cost to have
a phone.

subscribers on the line are
now in constant telephonic com-
munk^ction with each other and
through 'Southern Bell ex
change with telephone users in
Burlinjrton.
The construction of this line and
its eon iection with the telephone
exchange here is another step in
the prtigress of telephone deve-
lopnieiit which is being made by
the residents in the rural sections
of Alai nance County. Under the
plan ol the Southern Bell Com

dweileJ’S are enabled to secure
telephc he service on an economi

As result, farmers in all sec

Iiesoluttons of Respect.
WhejJeas, Our Heavenly father
in an alwise providence has seen
fit to call from our Council to the
Couiici above, sister Annie L.
Sha w and whereas, the deceased
was an honored member of Pu
rity C.oancil No. 22 Daughters of
Lifertj, N. C.
Thex?fore be it resolved:
Firat; That in the death of sis
ter Shathe Council has sustain
ed a great loss, and a seat is va
cant w;;iich will be hard to fill.
Second. That we extend to the
berfeavL^ family our sympathy,
and commend them to care of
him w ho doeth all things well.
Tliirci. That each member of
this Co ancil so live that when the
summons comes it may? find us
ready 1;o enter into rest.
Foutii. That a copy of these
resolutions be spre^ upon our
minuter, a copy be sent to the
family of the deceased sister, co
pies to The State Dispatch, and
The Burlington News, for publi-
ing.
Gentlemen who insist on “cus
sing” the tariff for the high cost
of living should take a copy of
the new^ tariff law in one hand
and a price list of groceries and
meats in the other and inform
themselves. Maybe they will
find what the philosopliers call
food for though. And it isn’t a
very high price for that sort of
food, either. It is just a little
comparison.
For example, it will be noted
that the tanff rate has been in
creased on figs pineapples, dates,
hops, split peas, grapes in barrels
buckwheat flour—and all of these
things either remain at the old
prices or hav.e reduced in cost to
the consumer.
And we only seeone chance for
the “cussing” gentleman to rep
ly. He may say he doesn’t care
for hops anyway.
On the other hand, the tariff
has been reduced on beef, mutton
veal, pork, ham, barley, green
peas, dried peas, cream, starch,
cabbage, lard, commeal and
sugar, among other things—aiid
on all these things, or nearly all,
of them, the prices have gone up.
There is no question of the high
price of living. But it isn’t fair
to charge the' tariff with being
the cause of it. For the tariff
doesn’t do it—as the facts and
figures show.
Living costs more and more be
cause more and more the people
who produce have quit producing
and have gone into the Consurii-
ing class. And there is little hope
of the cost of living gettingHgiwn
to old-time prices until the tide
of populati9n turns from the mills
and the cities, and the niillions
now dependent on wages—or
charity—turtt to taking care
of themselves by raising wimt
they need for food, and a little
for the market.
Then things will get doWh to
the normal—and not until then.
Strange that It Didn’t G»me Swmer.
The West is not going“Graay f or
low tariff rates. Colorado is &
State in which a goad deal of op
position to the new law was said
to prevail, but the intelligent
people out there are not to be
fooled by the silly free-trade trick
of trying to lay all advance in
prices of necessaries of life to the
tariff. The Boulder (Colo.)
“News” remarks: “If thet^euciff
is the cause of high prices, as is
persistently asserted, it is strange
that they did not come sOoneir,
We have had a high tariff lavir
for many years, and it is curious
if it has just begun to affect
prices so radically, and especial
ly on those articles on which the
tariff has been reduced pr remov
ed.” It is just as reasonable to
attribute to the tariff the attri
bute to the tariff the altitudinous
prices of wheat, gold and other
products during the strenuous
times of the civil war.

Twelve Milfion Boxes A Year.
The verdict of the nation! Dur
ing the year 1909 the pe(K)le of
America bought Twelve Million

like merit, and the stamp of pub
lic approval has evidently been

ure of the game was Hearne

only fosiu; hits while Elon got thir

The beware boys were plucky
but tAi.sible to make long drives
