In these d;*ys of rush and hurry, we
can well say it is a “fust age,” Xor
aa we watch with careful eye day af
ter day if becomes plain truth that the
great world's arniy of men and wo
men are going beyond the speed lim
it of their endurance both financially,
and otherwise. How often we see
families of very limited means strain
ing every muscle to the breaking point
trying to Dress, Dress, just as so and
so—-how often we see fathers, and
mothers slaving, toiling, denying
themselves the very bread and meat
. of life in order to buy some new fan
cied style contramption for their chil
dren and then after all their care and
toil that child is of all beings the most
unthankful and peevish. Oh ye proud
ana haughty hell bound race of chil
dren, What shall be your end? Look
ye whose eyes are clear see the devas
tation of their great .plague. Fast
living day after day we hear people
say» I would gladly buy this or that
to ease the toil of my hands, how
oft repeated is, O I would gladly help
this or that good work but I just have
not the money to spare—false—how
much have they spent for whiskey or
for snuff and tobacco to injure their
health and then again for thi'^ or that
foolish and unnecessary thing. Count
them. You know what they are.
Count them one by one and add them
up. And place the total by that which
you have spent for some good cause
and see the difference, Oh, how much?
Fathers and Mothers, wake up.
some of you are to blame for this fev
erish vanity of your children. Awake
X say and examine yourselves whither
are ye speeded? Down bmkes, for
the £rack over which you are going
surely leads downward and sooner or
later there will inevitably be a \VTeck.
Men and women, boys and girls, You
must slow dow. The pace is kill
ing. Take care how you live for one
day not long distant you will be tried
before a Just Judge and for all these
things you will have to give account.

It is in this spirit that the Repub

Progressives that the Republicans
must come into their camp if they
want to unite in opposition to the

The prediction of Representative

Gibsonville, May 30.—^The Swep
sonville baseball team, composed of
the best college and amateur players
in the southern part of Alamance
county, .started a game with the lo
cals today but quit in the sixth in
ning. GibsonWIle had runners on the
second and thirdwhen a long fly was
hit to center field. The fielder caught
the ball and both runners tagged the
bases and advanced. The catcher
missed the throw in and the umpire
permitted both men to score, which
decision Swepsonville disputed, claim
ing that on account of a ground rule
allowing only one base on a passed
ball over home, that the runner on
second shald not score.
Umpire Walker awarded ihe game
to Gibsonville by a score of 9 to 0.
