June Hridcs. Why June Britlus? K\eii tile wise old clerk at the Marriage License Bu reau cannot answer that tiuestion. He knows only that there are more hrides in the nion^h of June than in any cthor month. ICxperionc? has taught him to .lay in an extra sup ply of license blanks towards the be- ginnin..^ of .lune, provide himself with a good strong pen and prepare for a busy month of it. Last Moiiday 150 couples received from his hands their passports tc matrimony—‘‘happy, well-mated couples, too,” he observed to a Press reporter. In New York City on the same day 310 couples suc cumbed to the bridal month. Was it the month of June that Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote: “Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.” Maids in May and brides in June—and fittingly so! For June is the month of buds and blossoms, the turning point of the seasons. Spring passes into Summer like girl hood into womanhood, while earth, sky and winds aer tender as the smile of a br'de on her wedding day. Cu pid could not have chosen more wise- Sy than to mark this month for his own. “Choose not »\lons a proper mate. But proper time to marry.” sang Cowper r» century and a half ago. But it is not on record which of the poets who came after him first points the gracious afBnity between June and marriage or ottered first the prophecy thst *i tnarriage in June is destined to i)e a happy one.—Press.

I have looked in vain for this statement. Why has not this Statement been published? Has not the taxpayers of the coun ty a right to have this information ? Mr. Editor, I ask in behalf of the taxpayers of the county that you get and publish this statement. “Taxpayer.” Mr. Taxpayer: No source is more anxious than we to give you the de sired information which as a tax-pay- er we feel you are justly due. We therefore tall upon the county ofiicers to give us^the data which we shall be glad to finish you when received. We fee^ sure that the county offi cers wnll 1|8 gla I to give us this iijfor- mation an4 thus show' to the taxpayers of the couhty whether the salary sys tem is a success and if so how w'ell it is succeeding.Ed.— F.

It is true that autoniolfile speed hnv'i are more eomnioiLily iprnor- ed than any i>ther measures on the bool.'s, and this is htrgelj’ due per- ha]).s» to the preneral notion that a strict ei^forcement of the lau.s is not intended ov expected.

If on a p^iven day, between stat ed hours, the city, town and rural po lice were to be stationed with in* structions to cateh all speeders, and these speeders could be caught and each \ne fined $10 and the costs, enough money v.ould be raised to pay off the public debt of North Carolina. Th’xt few accidents have occurred in the city limits, of Burlin«jton. by the automobilistcs, we may well be proud But it is no rare thing- to see machines on our main streets runn ing- at the rate of twenty miles or more per hour when the speed limit is eijiht - We have never heard of any one being called into court prob ably because no serious accident has occurred, but we are of the opinion that more care should be taken by reckless driver*’. If no attention is given the speed limit the town of ficials should call a.halt. Life is too precious to be crushed out in a mo ment by some reckless speeder. Randered Efflcent Service. Po-stmaster F. L. Williamson has : wii ed his i-e.^igrnation as postmaster 'i:t Burlington, t> the Postmaster Gcn- en'.l at Washinj^ton, the re.sig’nation will be ciceepted today, Friday, and the isucccs.sor to Mr. Williamson appoint- • cd by the loth of June. Mr, Williamson is the proprietor of a larjrc wholesale house at thii; place land has more business to attend to !than he has time. He feels th;it he I can not su e the post office the atten- !tion it should have and look after his : individual business, hence the rea- ^son for his resignation, ^klr. William- ‘ son h:\s served the public faithfully and his resignation was a surprise to the fi-eneral public. He has been hon ored by the I>cniocratic party, which honor he appreciates. It is not known who his successor will be but it is supposed tiie can didates, Messrs. O. F. Crovvson ai'.d J. (’larence Freeman, who were in the fight lit the time Mr. Williamsrn wa?: appointed, will be in the fic^ht a^ain. It is hardly expected A.ssistant Postmaster Cates will make an effort to be named po.'?tmaster. Wh-at ean the caus^ of so nvauy people leaving, the country and the farm and^oing to town for work, es pecially can this be said about the younc: jieople. I>ay after day we no tice j-onie young man or woman tak- i;i£r ihei]‘ .departiarc for some factory' or store or something of the kind, in town. Again we ask what is the matter what is the cause, or more fjttingll. wo miftht say causes for it is certain that different cattse.s exist. Let us note a few at least: First. It is an evident fact that a great many leave on account of too much liberty at home. They are first allowed to dress as they please, go where they please, and when they want to, and as their fancy takes them then after av^^hile the fond and indulgent parents find they have giv en their child too much liberty and then at the eleventh hour, try to cor rect them and the result is, often, that they leave heme. Sometimes, it is the case however, that a few days or weeks away from home proves a lesson and they come back home a better and wiser son or daughter, but we believe that cases of this kind are in the minority; and that often it is the case that they are rolling stones that gather some cash, but spend all they make, pitiable i^ubjects, to be .sure. Now we have noticed a cause and effect that is far the most prev alent. Vut there are others. Sonie- tim.es it is the case that parents have •been too hard on their children, mak ing them slave arid work and plod along, giving them no chance to make any money for themselves from farm crops or by giving them a horse or a cow or anything of that kind and when they request something of you they are reprimanded or at least are not answered kindly, Surely one could not blami? a child for des'vtinK under such condition^. Fathers und mothers, YOU. It is you who are often to blame by cither slaving the child or by jiiving them too much lib erty at first and then trying to cor rect thorn both niehod.s arc wriM’.cr. Very, \ery uroi'fr, :ifid you have ov erlooked erJrei-y n Hue luvl Moving training that nouM give to the world true sons and daughters. Certainly you have forgotten the old adage: “Train up a child in the way they should Ko and when they are older they will not depart from it. Oh if all fathers and mothers would observe that rule. How much brighti*r and better our world would be. MOORK. COMMENCEMENT AT EL0N. Baccolaureote Day. Elon, Jvlr.y U'..—Today Ayas baeca- laureate daj az Elou. Dr^. F. T.

Dr. Tagg knows the student life and the student heai*t. He based hia remarks on Acts 7:22—“And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words ai'.d in deeds.” His theme was “Prep aration for Life-W^ork.” He showed by the illustrious example of Moses’ life ttvat intellectual preparation is not aU-sufficient for the best service, for after he had received his diploma from the University of that land of scholarship, culture, and learning, he had to add forty years of heart prep aration before he was able to do the w^ork divinely assigned him. He made zt plain that this heart preparation means preeminently the conquest of self and the surrender of self. “The first step upward is a step downward. A man who begins without humility is almost sure to reach a place where he will be hum bled to obscurity.
